Legislative Update from Olympia 27
January 2018
SB 5992 PASSES SENATE
NEW BILLS FILED
ACTION ON BILLS
PUBLIC HEARING CONDUCTED
PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED
(Quick and dirty this week. I just got
back on the redeye from the SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trades) Show in
Las Vegas. All kinds of new toys that our Dave Workman will be covering in
future articles.)
SB 5992 (“bump stock ban) passed the
Senate on a 29-20 vote. It now goes to House Judiciary for their consideration.
Given that the bill had a couple of Republican co-sponsors and four Republican
Senators voted “aye” on final passage, it will likely sail through the House
and go to the governor. The impact of this is very limited, and if this is all
that passes the legislature this session, we will be very lucky indeed.
SB 6415, by Sen. Hunt (D-22), and HB
2736, by Rep. Doglio (D-22), would require “express permission” from the
homeowner before allowing a CPL holder carrying a concealed pistol in a
residence.Violation is a misdemeanor plus FIVE YEARS’ LOSS OF CPL. “Express
permission” is not further defined in the law. What constitutes “express?” Permission
in writing? Video of owner granting permission? Court affidavit? Notarized
statement?
The version of HB 1122 that passed out
of House Judiciary last week was amended to follow the original language from
HB 2319 introduced in 1997 (and gave rise to I-676 when it failed to pass the
legislature that year). It drops the term “community endangerment” and returns
to a form of reckless endangerment, it applies only to children who unlawfully
access a firearm, and it defines “child” as anyone under the age of 18.
SB 5553 (suicide prevention, voluntary
waiver of rights) passed out of the Senate January 24^th on a 49-0 vote. It now
moves over to House Judiciary.
A public hearing on several gun bills
was conducted by House Judiciary on Thursday, 25 January. Testimony, pro and
con, was taken on HBs 2666 (repeal state preemption), 1387 (background check on
“assault weapons”), 2422 (restrict/ban “high capacity” magazines), 2293
(banning firearms in day care facilities) and 2519 (return of seized CPLs). It
is interesting to note that not only were the anti crowd turned out in orange
t-shirts for enhanced visibility, but for the first time (to the best of my
recollection) pizza was catered in for
this. But this was just a spontaneous grassroots turnout. Right! It’s nice to
have millionaire sugar daddies.
The Senate Law & Justice committee
will hold a public hearing on SB 6418 (possession of concealed firearm(s) in
someone else’s residence) at 10:00 a.m. on January 30^th. Senate Law &
Justice will consider SBs 6297 and 6298 in Executive Session (vote to pass out
of committee) on Friday, February 2^nd , at 10:00 a.m.
