JANUARY<\/p>\n<p>LEGISLATIVE TUTORIAL<\/p>\n<p>POTENTIAL IMPACT OF ELECTION YEAR<\/p>\n<p>34 BILLS HELD OVER FROM 2015 SESSION<\/p>\n<p>NEW PRE-FILED BILLS<\/p>\n<p>NO PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED YET<\/p>\n<p>LEGISLATIVE CALENDAR<\/p>\n<p>LEGISLATOR DIRECT TELEPHONE NUMBERS<\/p>\n<p>(Note:There\u2019s a lot going on with regard to the President\u2019s \u201cgun<br \/>\nviolence initiative.\u201dFew details are available at this time.But GOAL<br \/>\nPost has an Olympia focus and will not cover the other Washington.)<\/p>\n<p>The second regular session of the 64th (biennial) Washington state<br \/>\nlegislature convenes Monday, January 11th for its short (60 day)<br \/>\nsession.Control of the legislature remains split, with Democrats<br \/>\ncontrolling the House of Representatives with 50 seats, while the<br \/>\nminority Republicans have 48.From a gun owner\u2019s perspective, this view<br \/>\nis skewed by the fact that a small handful of Democrats side solidly<br \/>\nwith gun owners on those issues.While we would have the votes necessary<br \/>\nto pass good or block bad bills, House Democrats still control<br \/>\nleadership positions in that chamber, and thus control which bills get<br \/>\nvotes.The Senate remains controlled by a Majority Coalition of 25<br \/>\nRepublicans and one Democrat.From a standpoint of stopping bad bills, we<br \/>\nshould be all right, but it will be difficult to move pro-gun<br \/>\nlegislation forward.<\/p>\n<p>Legislation 101.For those of you not familiar with how the legislative<br \/>\nprocess works, this page has links to several quick tutorials, including<br \/>\nhow a bill becomes a law, how to read a bill, where to access bill<br \/>\nlanguage and how to testify in public<br \/>\nhearings:http:\/\/leg.wa.gov\/legislature\/Pages\/ComingToTheLegislature.aspx<\/p>\n<p>2016 is a major election year.To a limited degree, that might influence<br \/>\nhow elected officials vote on controversial issues.They\u2019ll certainly be<br \/>\npaying more attention to public opinion than in non-election years.Your<br \/>\ncalls, e-mails and letters DO MATTER.It\u2019s called \u201cgrassroots lobbying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As this is the second year of the biennium, bills that were filed last<br \/>\nyear and not passed by the legislature remain available for<br \/>\nconsideration.34 firearm-related bills, good and bad, from 2015 are<br \/>\nstill in the hopper (see list below).In addition, four additional<br \/>\ngun-related bills were pre-filed before the session started (at the end<br \/>\nof the list below)<\/p>\n<p>At this point, three days before the start of the session, no public<br \/>\nhearings have been scheduled on any firearm-related bills.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first items of business in each session is the adoption of<br \/>\nthe session calendar, identifying dates by which bills must clear<br \/>\nvarious hurdles.A bill that fails to clear the policy committee or<br \/>\nchamber floor by the designated date is generally considered dead for<br \/>\nthe year, although they may be \u201cresurrected\u201d by parliamentary<br \/>\nprocedure.I\u2019ll post the cut-off dates for the 2014 session in the next<br \/>\nissue of GOAL Post.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat caucus has extended its reach from urban and suburban areas<br \/>\nto rural areas.In these districts, the enthusiasm for gun control is<br \/>\ndiluted.If the Democrats expect to hold these rural districts in the<br \/>\nnext election, they will have to tread carefully on the gun issue.If you<br \/>\nlive in a rural or even suburban district with Democrat Representatives<br \/>\nor a Democrat Senator, it is important that you call their office and<br \/>\nexpress concern about your gun rights.Ask them to keep you informed of<br \/>\nany gun-related legislation.This lets them know that you are watching<br \/>\nthem on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>The Legislature has not yet published new telephone and office<br \/>\ndirectories because legislators are not sworn in until Monday, 11<br \/>\nJanuary.The following links can be used at that time to
