SPECIAL SESSION ENDS IN IMPASSE
SECOND SPECIAL SESSION CONVENED
PROCEDURAL NOTE
CRITICAL SPECIAL ELECTION AHEAD
The first special session ended earlier this week without budget resolution. Therefore the governor called them back immediately into a second special session. We’re now four days into the second 30-day special session.
I reported last week that Governor Inslee signed HB 1100. That means that starting in late summer or early fall (it takes time to set up the system), CPL holders will receive a postcard renewal notice 90 days before their CPL expires.
On May 10th, the governor signed the remaining four gun-related bills awaiting action. He signed HB 1501, HB 1612, SB 5268 and SB 5552.
HB 1501 requires licensed dealers to notify the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (more…)
NO ACTION ON BILLS
I was at the annual NRA convention and meetings in Atlanta last Friday, but nothing happened anyway!
Governor Inslee signed HB 1100 (CPL renewal postcard) a week before the session ended. The first postcards should go out in late summer (they have to set up the system first).
Still awaiting the governor’s signature are HB 1501 (NICS denial police notification), HB 1612 (suicide prevention), SB 5268 (CPL renewal e-mail notification) and SB 5552 (limited I-594 background check exemptions.) (Correction, SB 5268 did squeak out just before the regular session ended.)
