GOAL Post 2017-13

Only a day late this time...

Note that the one hearing scheduled is TODAY, Saturday, April 1st. Who says politicians have no sense of humor...?

Accidentally hit "publish" before I'd written this into... or given the post a title. So apologies if it looked weird...

Legislative Update from Olympia 31 March 2017
  • POLICY COMMITTEE CUT-OFF PASSES
  • HBs 1100, 1501 MOVE
  • FISCAL COMMITTEE CUT-OFF NEXT TUESDAY
  • SATURDAY PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED
The second chamber policy committee cut-off passed Wednesday. The only bill remaining in a policy committee, HB 1501 in Senate Law & Justice, was amended in committee and sent to Senate Ways & Means.

HB 1100 was passed out of Senate Ways & Means and sent to Senate Rules awaiting a floor vote. An attempt by committee Democrats to limit the CPL renewal notification to e-mail only, vice e-mail and snail mail (postcard) was defeated.

All bills currently being tracked (HB 1100, HB 1501, HB 1612, SB 5268) are sitting in their appropriate fiscal committee awaiting action before Tuesday’s fiscal cut-off. SB 5552 is in House Rules awaiting a floor vote.

A public hearing will be held in House Appropriations on SB 5268 (CPL renewal notice) at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday.
