Day late again, this time because I didn't feel like trying to edit and post while getting ready to go to work.
I made the mistake earlier this week of going to the state legislature's web site and looking at the list of bills; Joe is correct, these are a drop in the bucket.

Legislative Update from Olympia, 24 February 2017
- TIME TO TRIM THE LIST
- FISCAL COMMITTEE CUT-OFF PASSES
- CHAMBER CUT-OFF NEXT UP
- GUN BILLS PASS OUT OF SENATE
- IT’S ALL ON THE FLOOR FOR NOW
In a week or two I’m going to trim the list of bills
under consideration, deleting those that did not survive the committee or
chamber. That will give us a more manageable list to follow. At the end of the
session I’ll publish a session recap with the complete bill list.
The fiscal committee cut-off is tonight. All bills that
needed fiscal approval and did not get it died. At this time it appears that HB
1270 and SB 5073 likely died in their respective fiscal committees. I’ll
correct any changes next week. HBs 1501 and 1612 passed out to House Rules. At
this point there are nine bills still left alive out of 34 originally filed.
The next major cut-off is in twelve days, March 8th,
when all bills must pass out of their original chamber (House or Senate). We’ll
likely see a handful of the remaining bills die at that point.
Two gun bills have successfully passed out of the Senate,
to be taken up by the House after the 8 March chamber cut-off date.SB 2268 (CPL
renewal notice) and SB5552 (expanded exceptions to I-594) both cleared the
Senate on a 49-0 vote. Neither was controversial!
For the next ten days, all of the action will be on the
chamber floors as bills are called up, debated, possibly amended, and then an
up or down vote. Floor sessions are televised on TVWashington for the
masochists on the GOAL list. And there should be a link on the legislative web
site (leg.wa.gov).
(To give you an idea of the magnitude of a legislative
session, more than 2,300 bills have been filed so far in this session. As
stated before, many are filed, few receive action.)
