\nLegislative Update from Olympia 5 April 2019<\/p>\n
POLICY COMMITTEE CUT-OFF; BILLS MOVE, BILLS DIE
\nACTION SHIFTS ONCE AGAIN TO CHAMBER FLOORS
\n17 APRIL CHAMBER CUT-OFF, 28 APRIL SINE DIE<\/p>\n
The legislature is moving into the final leg of its 105 day\/15 week regular session. Just over three weeks left. The primary focus of the long session in odd-numbered years is supposed to be development and adoption of the biennial budget, Whether a budget agreement will be reached or a special session will be called is hard to say right now. Both the House and Senate have passed budget bills, but the bills are $750 MILLION apart \u2013 in new spending only! The overall biennial budget runs over $52 BILLION. Now to guns\u2026<\/p>\n
The second chamber policy committee cut-off occurred two days ago. A few more gun bills died, others moved forward. Unless there is a dispute between the House and Senate versions of a bill, it must clear the legislature with a floor vote by April 17th. Bills in dispute have until the last day, 28 April.<\/p>\n
SB 5434 (expanded gun free zones) died in House Civil Right & Judiciary.
\nSBs 5027 (extreme risk protection order, under 18) and 5508 (WSP background checks for CPLs) both passed the Senate with amendments. Both now go to a concurrence vote or a conference committee.
