GOAL Post 2017-11
\nLegislative Update from Olympia 17 March 2017<\/p>\n

SECOND HALF OF SESSION BEGINS
\nONE BILL MOVES
\nBILLS SCHEDULED FOR HEARINGS
\nSECOND CHAMBER POLICY COMMITTEE CUT-OFF<\/p>\n

The committee hearing\/vote\/floor session cycle has started all over again, after the 8 March original chamber cut-off. As House bills move through the Senate and vice versa, the next critical cut-off date is Wednesday, 29 March — nearly two weeks off. The second half of the long session is off to a slow start. Of the five gun bills we are tracking, two had public hearings (1612 and 5268) and one passed out of committee (5552).<\/p>\n

Senate Bill 5552, relaxing SOME of the background checks under I-594, passed out of 5552 amended and out of the House Judiciary Committee on what appeared to be a unanimous a voice vote on Wednesday. The bill was amended in committee to add firearms loaned to veterans color guards to the list of background check exemptions.<\/p>\n

Recall this is the bill that COULD be amended to add CPL holders to the exemption list. That would change it from minor tweaks to a major pro-gun bill. But that’s going to take pressure from constituents. The bill can be further amended on the House floor at the end of March\/early April..<\/p>\n

At this point, two bills (1100, 1501) are scheduled for public hearings and an executive session for 5268. Details below.<\/p>\n
