Laurie Jinkins (D-27) taking over House Judiciary from now-Senator Jamie Pedersen (D-43).\u00a0 Jinkins&#8217; background is in public health issues, so I don&#8217;t expect any change in philosophy in House Judiciary.\u00a0 Senator Adam Kline (D-37) has announced he will not run for reelection this year, but he will be with us for this session.<\/p>\n<p>Mid-term elections will be conducted in November.\u00a0 To a limited degree, that might influence how elected officials vote on controversial issues.\u00a0 (Guns?\u00a0 Controversial?\u00a0 Nah, it&#8217;s clearly protected in BOTH federal and state constitutions&#8230; but apparently some people can&#8217;t read.)<\/p>\n<p>As this is the second year of the biennium, bills that were filed last year and not passed by the legislature remain available for consideration.\u00a0 29 firearm-related bills, good and bad, from 2013 are still in the hopper (see list below).\u00a0 In addition, two additional gun-related bills were pre-filed before the session started.\u00a0 HB 2164, by Rep. Tina Orwall, would require juveniles adjudicated or convicted of firearm possession offenses participate in &#8220;aggression replacement training, &#8220;family therapy&#8221; or some other approved therapy sessions, and SB 5956 by Sen. Brian Hatfield (D-19) would reopen the door to legal possession of short-barreled rifles.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;battle of the initiatives&#8221; is about to formally kick off later this month.\u00a0 I-594 backers turned in approximately 345,000 signatures, well over the 246,000 needed for consideration.\u00a0 I-591 backers (Protect our Gun Rights) turned in about 349,000 signatures.\u00a0 The signature petitions must be validated by the Secretary of State before they are officially presented to the legislature.\u00a0 That process is expected to take about two weeks.\u00a0 Interesting, in their public statement on the initiatives, the Secretary of State&#8217;s office referred to I-594 as a &#8220;gun control&#8221; measure and to I-591 as a &#8220;gun-related&#8221; measure (an accurate characterization as I-591 PROTECTS gun rights and limits background checks to those required by federal law).\u00a0 I-594 broadly expands the requirement for background checks on ALL firearm transfers, retail and private, to include loans of guns in many cases.\u00a0 I-594 would also prevent gun safety classes being given outside recognized shooting ranges (such as those classes conducted at WAC gun shows).\u00a0 More on these later.<\/p>\n<p>For those new to legislative affairs, here\u2019s how the process works:\u00a0 When a bill is filed in the House or Senate (or both, simultaneously, called \u201ccompanion bills\u201d) it is assigned to a policy committee.\u00a0 Most gun-related bills go to the Senate Judiciary Committee in the Senate.\u00a0 In the House it\u2019s a little more complicated, as it may be sent to House Judiciary, House Public Safety, or House Juvenile Justice.\u00a0 Public hearings may be held, after which the bill may (or may not) be voted out of committee.\u00a0 If the bill has a fiscal impact (usually an expenditure of more than $50,000), it must then go to Senate Ways &amp; Means or one of a couple of House fiscal committees.\u00a0 The bill then goes to the Senate or House Rules Committee, where it must be voted on to pass out to the floor for a full vote.<\/p>\n<p>After a bill passes the Senate or House, it then goes over to the opposite chamber (House or Senate), where the whole process starts over again.\u00a0 If the bill passes the second chamber in the same form it passed the first, it goes to the governor for signature (or veto or partial veto).\u00a0 If changes are made in the second chamber, it goes back to the first for concurrence.\u00a0 It may also go to a conference committee from both chambers to resolve differences.\u00a0 The final version must pass both chambers.<\/p>\n<p>The bill then goes to the Governor, who may sign it into law, veto (kill) the bill, or sign a partial veto (killing just selected section(s) of the bill).\u00a0 The governor may also allow a bill to become law without her (or his) signature.\u00a0 Most signed bills take effect on 1 July, although bills with an \u201cemergency clause\u201d (considered immediately necessary for public safety) take effect upon signature by the governor.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first items of business in each session is the adoption of the session calendar, identifying dates by which bills must clear various hurdles.\u00a0 A bill that fails to clear the policy committee or chamber floor by the designated date is generally considered dead for the year, although they may be \u201cresurrected\u201d by parliamentary procedure.\u00a0 I\u2019ll post the cut-off dates for the 2009 session in the next issue of GOAL Post.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat caucus has extended its reach from urban and suburban areas to rural areas.\u00a0 In these districts, the enthusiasm for gun control is diluted.\u00a0 If the Democrats expect to hold these rural districts in the next election, they will have to tread carefully on the gun issue.\u00a0 If you live in a rural or even suburban district with Democrat Representatives or a Democrat Senator, it is important that you call their office and express concern about your gun rights.\u00a0 Ask them to keep you informed of any gun-related legislation.\u00a0 This lets them know that you are watching them on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>The Legislature has not yet published new telephone and office directories because legislators are not sworn in until Monday, 13 January.\u00a0 The following links can be used at that time to identify direct contact information:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.wa.gov\/Senate\/Senators\/\">http:\/\/www.leg.wa.gov\/Senate\/Senators\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.wa.gov\/House\/Representatives\/\">http:\/\/www.leg.wa.gov\/House\/Representatives\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be attending the annual SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trades) trade show 14-17 January and won&#8217;t return until the 18th (Saturday).\u00a0 I&#8217;ll probably get the next GOAL Post out Saturday night or Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>BILL STATUS:<\/p>\n<p>The following 28 bills filed in 2013 remain under consideration in the 2014 session:<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"98\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Bill #<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"144\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Subject<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"102\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Sponsor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"99\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Status<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"99\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>GOAL Position<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"98\"><a href=\"http:\/\/apps.leg.wa.gov\/documents\/billdocs\/2013-14\/Pdf\/Bills\/House%20Bills\/1096-S.pdf\">HB 1096<\/a><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"144\">Juvi illegal firearm possession<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"102\">Hurst (D-31)<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"99\">H.
