SECOND CHAMBER POLICY COMMITTEE CUT-OFF

ALL BILLS UNDER CONSIDERATION SURVIVE

GOAL POSITION ON HB 2908 CHANGES FROM OPPOSE TO NEUTRAL

TWO CUT-OFF DATES NEXT WEEK

TWO WEEKS LEFT IN SESSION

The second chamber (House bills in the Senate, Senate bill sin the House) policy committee cut-off was today. All of the firearm-related bills we are tracking passed their respective committee.

HBs 1713 and 2793 passed out of Senate Human Services and were sent to Senate Ways & Means for approval of funding. HBs 2410 and 2908 passed out of Senate Law & Justice and sent to Senate Rules for a floor vote. HB 2908 was amended to add pro-law enforcement organizations to the working group making recommendations on law enforcement use of deadly force. SB 6165 was amended in committee to clarify the language that assembling your own short-barreled rifle from separately purchased components is legal – provided you are using a legally registered (under the National Firearms Act) SBR receiver. Good clarification. SB 6267 passed to House Rules.

HB 2908 was amended in the Senate Law & Justice Committee today. Our position has changed from “oppose” to “neutral” now that rank-and-file law enforcement officers will be given a voice in the working group. The recommendations of this working group could ultimately lead the legislature to change the rules regarding the use of lethal force by all citizens of Washington.

Monday, 29 February is the second chamber fiscal committee cut-off. HBs 1713 and 2793 must pass Ways & Means Monday or die for the session. Friday, 4 March is the last day for bills to pass out of the second chamber, with the exception of those bills amended in the second chamber which must go back to the first chamber for a concurrence vote.

Two weeks remain in the 2016 regular legislative session. The session must end by midnight on Wednesday, 10 March.

CHAMBER CUT-OFF PASSES

BILLS MOVE, BILLS DIE

THREE WEEKS LEFT IN SESSION

SECOND POLICY COMMITTEE CUT-OFF NEXT FRIDAY

PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED – (Initial hearing schedule updated per addendum – ed.)

Bills that had not passed out of their original chamber (House bills out of the House, Senate bills out of the Senate) died Wednesday evening. Now the focus flips: Senate bills in the House, House bills in the Senate.

Only six firearm-related bills remain in play during the 2016 session. SB 6165, by Sen. Takko (D-19) passed the Senate and is now in House Judiciary. SB 6267, by Sen. Schoesler (R-9) passed the Senate and is now in House Judiciary. HB 1713, by Rep. Cody (D-34) passed the House and is now in Senate Human Services, Mental Health and Housing. SHB 2410, by Rep. Hayes (R-10) passed the House and is now in Senate Law & Justice. HB 2793, by Rep. Orwall (D-33) passed the House and is now in Senate Human Services, Mental Health and Housing. Finally, HB 2908, by Rep. Ryu (D-32) passed the House and is now in Senate Law & Justice.

Three weeks remain in the 2016 regular legislative session. The train is speeding up. Next Friday, 26 February, is the second chamber policy committee cut-off. Again, bills that do not pass out of their policy committee by that date are dead for the session.

A public hearing will be conducted on HB 1713 In Senate Human Services, Mental Health and Housing committee on Monday, 22 February at 10: 00 a. m. A hearing will be conducted on HB 2908 in Senate Law & Justice at 8: 00 a. m. on the 23rd . A public hearing on SB 6267 is scheduled in House Judiciary at 10: 00 a. m., 23 February. A public hearing will be held on HB 2793 in Senate Human Services on 25 February at 10: 00 a. m. At this time no other bills are scheduled for public hearing, but that is subject to change.

FISCAL COMMITTEE CUT-OFF

RULES COMMITTEE ACTION (OR INACTION)

CHAMBER CUT-OFF NEXT WEEK

NO PUBLIC HEARINGS NEXT WEEK

SB 6267 PASSES SENATE

Tuesday evening was the fiscal committee cut-off. HB 1857 failed to pass House Appropriations and is likely dead for the session. HB 2793 goes to House Rules awaiting a call to the House floor.

Bills that have passed out of their policy committee and a fiscal committee (if required) go to the House or Senate Rules Committees, where they await a “pull” to the floor. Essentially, the Rules committee votes on which bills to bring to the chamber floor that day, and which wait… or die. Not all bills that make it to Rules receive a floor vote (vote of the entire House or Senate). Recognize, too, that a lot of bills in the Rules committee are holdovers from last year and unlikely to move this year as well.

At the time the weekly schedule was published, no gun bills were scheduled to be heard. As bills move to the floor for a chamber vote, then pass to the other chamber, bills may be scheduled.

5 p.m., Wednesday, 17 February is the chamber cut-off. All House bills under consideration must pass out of the House to the Senate. All Senate bills must pass out of the Senate to the House. Bills that do not pass their original chamber are supposedly dead for the session. (I say “supposedly” because on rare occasions the rules are suspended and bills come back to life.)

SB 6267 (Schoesler (R-4) passed out of the Senate. It will likely go to House Judiciary next week.

GOAL Post Addendum6 February 2016

House Bill 2325, by Rep. Dick Muri (R-28), a bill that would create an
elective hunter education/firearms safety course in high schools, failed
to pass out of the House Education Committee by yesterday’s policy
committee cut-off.The bill is essentially dead for this session.

In a late addition to next week’s schedule, Rep. Muri has arranged for a
“courtesy hearing” on the bill by the House Education Committee in House
Hearing Room “A,” John L. O’Brien Office Building at 8:30 a.m. on
Thursday, 11 February. WDFW Hunter Ed officials will be there as will
several state-certified hunter education instructors.

If you can attend the hearing, please try to do so.A hunter ed/firearm
safety course in our high schools would go a long way to counter the
anti-gun indoctrination and misinformation that fills classrooms today. A
strong showing of support will help get this bill a hearing in the next
legislative session.

Legislative Update from Olympia5 February 2016

FIRST POLICY COMMITTEE CUT-OFF

40 BILLS DIE IN POLICY COMMITTEE

BILL LIST TO BE SHORTENED

NEW BILLS INTRODUCED

BILL SHIFTS

PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD ON TWO GUN BILLS THIS WEEK

NO PUBLIC HEARINGS NEXT WEEK

ALMOST HALFWAY THROUGH THE SESSION

(Back to my normal schedule. GOAL Post should be published every Friday evening for the remainder of the session. )

Of the more than 60 gun-related bills filed during the 2015-16 biennium, only a few have survived the 2016 first policy committee cut-off. Because bills that do not pass out of their original policy committee (for most gun bills — but not all — House Judiciary or Senate Law & Justice) are considered dead for the session, I will annotate that in tonight’s “bill status” portion as “Died. ”. Next week I will only post those bills that are still under consideration in the remainder of the session.

A few new bills were filed this week, but none received a public hearing or a vote out of committee before tonight’s deadline. HB 2951, by Rep. Scott (R-39) would override employer’s prohibitions on keeping firearms and/or ammunition in motor vehicles parked in company parking lots. This protects customers AND employees. HB 2974, by Rep. Shea (R-4) prohibits confiscation of private personal property (including firearms/ammunition) during a state of emergency. HB 2975, also by Rep. Shea, creates the Washington state firearms civil rights act, an act that guarantees the right to keep and bear arms, prohibits public officials or employees from interfering with that right beyond existing law, and allows lawsuits against individuals in violation. It also provides sentencing enhancement for those who carry, brandish or discharge a firearm in the commission of a crime. All three bills are effectively dead as they were filed too late for a hearing. But they’ll be back.

The GOAL position on HB 1713 (guns/mental health) has changed from OPPOSE to NEUTRAL based on adoption of a substitute bill. The bill is now in House Appropriations awaiting committee action.

HB 2907 failed to pass committee, but a near duplicate, HB 2908 passed to House Rules committee.

Public hearings were held this week on HBs 2907 and 2913. Executive action (amendments and votes) were taken on others. HB 2410, which would have applied a blanket mandate to add to the “firearms offender registry” anyone convicted of a firearms offense. The bill was amended to mandate inclusion of only violent or sexual predator offenses, omitting the requirement to add technical violations such as I-594 transfer violations. An amendment to exempt concealed pistol licenses from the suspensions mandated by HB 2913 failed. GOAL still opposes the bill. (If HB 2913 becomes law, it will likely be challenged in court. )

Tuesday, 9 February marks the technical halfway point in this 60-day session. From a legislative standpoint, the halfway point occurs six days later, 17 February, the days bills must pass their original chamber (House bills from the House, Senate bills from the Senate) or they are considered dead. There’s still a lot of damage that can be done before the session ends.
