Note that all five surviving-and-likely-to-pass bills were sponsored by Democrats. Constitutional rights should not be a partisan cause.
As I understand it, one of the provisions of SB5552 will remove one of the most severe restictions in I594, by exempting loan of a gun at -- and only at -- a range.

Legislative Update from
Olympia 24 March 2017
BILLS MOVE
MORE CUT-OFFS LOOM
There’s been a little motion
on our five bills of interest after a week of public hearings. HB 1100 passed out of Senate Law &
Justice to Senate Ways & Means. HB
1612 passed out of Senate Human Services to Senate Ways & Means. Both of these will have to clear that fiscal
committee before moving on.
Senate Bill 5268 passed out
of House Judiciary to House Appropriations, more fiscal action. SB 5552 still
sits in House Rules awaiting a floor vote (not likely until next month). A public hearing was held on HB 1501, so we
can expect it to be subjected to a Senate Law & Justice committee vote next
week.
The second chamber (House
bills in Senate, etc) policy committee cut-off is next Wednesday, 29
March. We’re past that with the five
bills we’re following. The fiscal
committee cut-off is the following Tuesday, 4 April. HBs 1100, 1612 and SB 5268 are awaiting that
hurdle.
