Update from Olympia 1 April 2016
- FINALLY – IT’S OVER
- GOVERNOR’S 27 VETOS OVERTURNED
- ALL GUN-RELATED BILLS SIGNED
- FUTURE GOAL COMMUNICATIONS
Also on Monday and
Tuesday, the legislature overrode Governor Inslee’s tantrum veto of 27 bills
(none of which were firearm-related).
On Thursday, 31
March, the governor signed HBs 2410 and 2793 into law. On Friday, 1 April (!) he signed HB 2908 and
SB 6165. Approximately 20 citizens
attended the 2908 signing, appearing in a gaggle around the governor. Laws take effect 90 days after they are
signed by the governor.
This wraps up
publication of GOAL Post until the next session. I’ll be publishing GOAL alerts and other
information as the election approaches.
