Legislative Update from Olympia 15 March 2019
- SB 5954 PASSES LEGISLATURE
- CHAMBER CUT-OFF/TURNOVER DAY
- BILLS LIVE – BILLS DIE
- PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED
Of the 23 bills that survived the original chamber policy
committee cut-off, only 13 made it through the second cut by passing out of
their chamber of origin. House bills
moving to the Senate include HBs 1225 (firearms/DV), 1465 (handgun delivery
w/CPL), 1739 (undetectable/untraceable firearms – the Senate version died),
1786 (protective orders/firearms), 1934 (military CPL renewal by mail) and 1949
(single point of contact for background checks).
Senate bills moving to the House include SBs 5027 (underage
extreme risk protection orders), 5181 (firearms/Mental health), 5205
(firearms/incompetent for trial), 5434 (new/expanded gun free zones), 5508 (WSP
background checks for CPLs) and 5782 (spring-blade knives). I mentioned SB 5954 above.
Bills that died include HB 1010 (WSP destruction of
forfeited firearms), 1068 (high capacity magazine ban), 1381 (UAVs/contraband
delivery), 5016 (arming animal control officers), 5061
(undetectable/untraceable firearms), 5062 (high capacity magazine ban), 5099
(target shooting on DNR land), 5143 (firearms/DV incidents). 5150 (college
safety officers/weapons) and 5174 (CPL training).
Note BOTH “high capacity magazine” bills (HB 1068, SSB 5062)
died, as did the mandatory training requirement for a CPL (SSB 5174).
There is a public hearing scheduled for HB 1949 (single POC
for background checks) in Senate Law & Justice at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, 18
March. Public hearings scheduled for SB
5508 (WSP background check) in House
Civil Rights & Judiciary at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19. For SB 5181 (firearms/mental health) in House
Civil Rights & Judiciary at 9 a.m. on March 20. For SB 5782 (spring assisted knives) in House
Civil Rights & Judiciary at 10 a.m. on March 22.
If you are tracking a specific bill, you might want to check
the bill’s page on “Bill Information” to ensure a hearing was not added later.
(I added a note below in “Other data.” The same bill information page for each bill
that tells you where/how to get copies of bills and bill reports also mentions
public hearings are available on TV Washington, both live and archived. Links to airings are available at the very
bottom of the bill page – no need to search the archives.)
