\nLegislative Update from Olympia – 24 February 2017<\/p>\n
TIME TO TRIM THE LIST
\nFISCAL COMMITTEE CUT-OFF PASSES
\nCHAMBER CUT-OFF NEXT UP
\nGUN BILLS PASS OUT OF SENATE
\nIT’S ALL ON THE FLOOR FOR NOW<\/p>\n
In a week or two I’m going to trim the list of bills under consideration, deleting those that did not survive the committee or chamber. That will give us a more manageable list to follow. At the end of the session I’ll publish a session recap with the complete bill list.<\/p>\n
The fiscal committee cut-off is tonight. All bills that needed fiscal approval and did not get it died. At this time it appears that HB 1270 and SB 5073 likely died in their respective fiscal committees. I’ll correct any changes next week. HBs 1501 and 1612 passed out to House Rules. At this point there are nine bills still left alive out of 34 originally filed.<\/p>\n
The next major cut-off is in twelve days, March 8th, when all bills must pass out of their original chamber (House or Senate). We’ll likely see a handful of the remaining bills die at that point.<\/p>\n
Two gun bills have successfully passed out of the Senate, to be taken up by the House after the 8 March chamber cut-off date. SB 2268 (CPL renewal notice) and SB5552 (expanded exceptions to I-594) both cleared the Senate on a 49-0 vote. Neither was controversial!<\/p>\n
For the next ten days, all of the action will be on the chamber floors as bills are called up, debated, possibly amended, and then an up or down vote. Floor sessions are televised on TVWashington for the masochists on the GOAL list. And there should be a link on the legislative web site (leg.wa.gov).<\/p>\n
(To give you an idea of the magnitude of a legislative session, more than 2,300 bills have been filed so far in this session. As stated before, many are filed, few receive action.)<\/p>\n
