Joe sent out the latest GOAL Post but says he is having ISP issues, and it has not been posted to the GOAL web site, so I'll go ahead with it here.
Usual thing, slight editing for formatting, no change in text.
So, while there has been good news, it is not all good news, we may be getting a "Red Flag" law, which would make it oh, so easy for a angry ex- or spiteful neighbor to use a phone to deprive you of your rights.

Legislative Update from Olympia 5
April 2019
- POLICY COMMITTEE CUT-OFF; BILLS MOVE, BILLS DIE
- ACTION SHIFTS ONCE AGAIN TO CHAMBER FLOORS
- 17 APRIL CHAMBER CUT-OFF, 28 APRIL SINE DIE
The legislature is moving into the
final leg of its 105 day/15 week regular session. Just over three weeks left. The primary focus of the long session in
odd-numbered years is supposed to be development and adoption of the biennial
budget, Whether a budget agreement will be reached or a special session will be
called is hard to say right now. Both
the House and Senate have passed budget bills, but the bills are $750 MILLION
apart – in new spending only! The
overall biennial budget runs over $52 BILLION.
Now to guns…
The second chamber policy committee
cut-off occurred two days ago. A few
more gun bills died, others moved forward.
Unless there is a dispute between the House and Senate versions of a
bill, it must clear the legislature with a floor vote by April 17th. Bills in dispute have until the last day, 28
April.
SB 5434 (expanded gun free zones)
died in House Civil Right & Judiciary.
SBs 5027 (extreme risk protection
order, under 18) and 5508 (WSP background checks for CPLs) both passed the
Senate with amendments. Both now go to a
concurrence vote or a conference committee.
HB 1949 (single POC/firearm
background checks) passed out of the Senate.
It, too goes to a concurrence vote or a conference committee.
SBs 5205 and 5782 are in House Rules
awaiting a floor vote.
SB 5181 still sits in House
Appropriations awaiting a committee vote.
Both HBs 1225 and 1934 passed out of
committee and sit in Senate Rules awaiting a floor vote.
