\nLegislative Update from Olympia 15 March 2019<\/p>\n
SB 5954 PASSES LEGISLATURE
\nCHAMBER CUT-OFF\/TURNOVER DAY
\nBILLS LIVE \u2013 BILLS DIE
\nPUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED<\/p>\n
In an unusual move, SB 5954 (bump stock buyback funding) passed out of the Senate on 28 February, was fast-tracked through the House on March 11th where it was amended, so it went back to the Senate, who concurred in the House amendment. It’s on its way to the Governor.<\/p>\n
Of the 23 bills that survived the original chamber policy committee cut-off, only 13 made it through the second cut by passing out of their chamber of origin. House bills moving to the Senate include HBs 1225 (firearms\/DV), 1465 (handgun delivery w\/CPL), 1739 (undetectable\/untraceable firearms \u2013 the Senate version died), 1786 (protective orders\/firearms), 1934 (military CPL renewal by mail) and 1949 (single point of contact for background checks).<\/p>\n
Senate bills moving to the House include SBs 5027 (underage extreme risk protection orders), 5181 (firearms\/Mental health), 5205 (firearms\/incompetent for trial), 5434 (new\/expanded gun free zones), 5508 (WSP background checks for CPLs) and 5782 (spring-blade knives). I mentioned SB 5954 above.<\/p>\n
Bills that died include HB 1010 (WSP destruction of forfeited firearms), 1068 (high capacity magazine ban), 1381 (UAVs\/contraband delivery), 5016 (arming animal control officers), 5061 (undetectable\/untraceable firearms), 5062 (high capacity magazine ban), 5099 (target shooting on DNR land), 5143 (firearms\/DV incidents). 5150 (college safety officers\/weapons) and 5174 (CPL training).<\/p>\n
Note BOTH “high capacity magazine” bills (HB 1068, SSB 5062) died, as did the mandatory training requirement for a CPL (SSB 5174).<\/p>\n
There is a public hearing scheduled for HB 1949 (single POC for background checks) in Senate Law & Justice at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, 18 March. Public hearings scheduled for SB 5508 (WSP background check) in House Civil Rights & Judiciary at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19. For SB 5181 (firearms\/mental health) in House Civil Rights & Judiciary at 9 a.m. on March 20. For SB 5782 (spring assisted knives) in House Civil Rights & Judiciary at 10 a.m. on March 22.<\/p>\n
If you are tracking a specific bill, you might want to check the bill’s page on “Bill Information” to ensure a hearing was not added later.<\/p>\n
(I added a note below in “Other data.” The same bill information page for each bill that tells you where\/how to get copies of bills and bill reports also mentions public hearings are available on TV Washington, both live and archived. Links to airings are available at the very bottom of the bill page \u2013 no need to search the archives.)<\/p>\n
