O\u2019Brien House Office Building, the John A. Cherberg Senate Office Building, and the Irv Newhouse Senate Office Building.\u00a0 This is a great opportunity to locate your two representatives\u2019 and one senator\u2019s office and introduce yourself to their legislative aides.\u00a0 Hopefully over the coming two months they\u2019ll become familiar with your name and maybe even your face! \u00a0WE MUST FLEX OUR MUSCLES IN OLY EARLY ON.<\/p>\n<p>A public hearing will be held on HB 1671 (confiscation of forfeited firearms) in House Civil Rights &amp; Judiciary at 1000, Friday, right after the rally.\u00a0 The hearing will be held in House Hearing Room \u201cA\u201d in the John L. O\u2019Brien House Office Building.\u00a0 The bill makes technical corrections to existing law.<\/p>\n<p>The legislature convenes on Monday, January 13<sup>th<\/sup>, for its \u201cshort\u201d (60 day) session.\u00a0 This is a continuation of the 66<sup>th<\/sup> biennium, which started in January 2019.\u00a0 If their work is not completed, they can be called back by the governor for a 30-day special session.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats now hold clear majorities in both the Senate and House. Democrats \u00a0chair all of the committees in both House and Senate, and have at least a one (Senate Law &amp; Justice) to three seat (House Civil Rights &amp; Judiciary) majority in each committee.\u00a0 And while a small handful of individual Democrat legislators are pro-gun, party policy is definitely anti-gun, anti-rights.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker Frank Chopp (D-43) announced his resignation from the speakership last summer, after nearly 20 years as Speaker of the House.\u00a0 He is keeping his House seat, however.\u00a0 The new Speaker is former Civil Rights &amp; Judiciary committee chair Laurie Jinkins. She will assume the speakership on the 13<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 The new Civil Rights &amp; Judiciary committee chair is Christine Kilduff (D-28).\u00a0 Neither Speaker Jinkins nor Chair Kilduff are friends of gun owners.<\/p>\n<p>Because this is simply \u201cpart 2\u201d of a two-year legislative period, all bills filed and not passed in last years\u2019 session are up for play this year, as well as new bills filed.\u00a0 Most old bills will not likely be touched (especially the pro-gun bills), but any or all COULD be brought into play.\u00a0 A complete list of gun bills run last year may be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/billsbytopic\/Results.aspx?year=2019&amp;subject=FIREARMS\">https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/billsbytopic\/Results.aspx?year=2019&amp;subject=FIREARMS<\/a>\u00a0 I am not going to put them on the Bill List below unless they receive action this time around.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, since early December several new gun-related bills have been filed for action this session.\u00a0 In the House, SB 2196 (Walsh R-19) would make it more difficult to have a \u201cred flag\u201d protection order (gun confiscation order) issued; HB2202 (Klippert R-8) exempts law enforcement officers from training requirements for modern sporting rifle (semi-automatic assault rifles) training; HB2240 (Valdez D-46) bans magazines with a capacity over ten rounds, with exceptions; HB 2241 (Peterson (D-21) bans sale, possession of assault weapons and large capacity magazines, with exceptions.\u00a0 In the Senate, SB 6076 (Kuderer, D-48) bans assault weapons and large capacity magazines) and SB 6078 (Kuderer D-48) bans large capacity magazines, with exceptions, SB 6161 (Dhingra D-45) excise tax on ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>It is a common practice to file duplicate versions of a bill (\u201ccompanion\u201d bills) in the House and Senate.\u00a0 Each will carry it\u2019s own House (HB) or Senate (SB) bill number.\u00a0 At least one version of the bill must pass both chambers before going to the governor.<\/p>\n<p>New bills and active holdover bills from 2019 are included below in the \u201cBILL STATUS\u201d section.\u00a0 It also contains the bill\u2019s prime sponsor, the current status of the bill (committee location) and the GOAL position on the bill.\u00a0 Committee abbreviations are provided at the bottom of that section. \u00a0As this is written, there are seven new bills awaiting action, plus any recalled from last year.\u00a0 All active bills will be listed in the Bill List.<\/p>\n<p>For those new to legislative affairs, here\u2019s how the process works:\u00a0 When a bill is filed in the House or Senate (or both, simultaneously, called \u201ccompanion bills\u201d) it is assigned to a policy committee.\u00a0 Most gun-related bills go to the Senate Law &amp; Justice Committee in the Senate.\u00a0 In the House it\u2019s a little more complicated, as it may be sent to House Civil Rights &amp;Judiciary or House Public Safety (most will go to Civil Rights &amp; Judiciary).\u00a0 Public hearings may be held, after which the bill may (or may not) be voted out of committee.\u00a0 If the bill has a fiscal impact (usually an expenditure of more than $50,000), it must then go to Senate Ways &amp; Means or one of a couple of House fiscal committees.\u00a0 The bill then goes to the Senate or House Rules Committee, where it must be voted on to pass out to the floor for a full vote.<\/p>\n<p>After a bill passes the Senate or House floor vote, it then goes over to the opposite chamber (House or Senate), where the whole process starts ove r again.\u00a0 If the bill passes the second chamber in the same form it passed the first, it goes to the governor for signature (or veto or partial veto).\u00a0 If changes are made in the second chamber, it goes back to the first for concurrence.\u00a0 It may also go to a conference committee from both chambers to resolve differences.\u00a0 The final version must pass both chambers.<\/p>\n<p>The bill then goes to the Governor, who may sign it into law, veto (kill) the bill, or sign a partial veto (killing just selected section(s) of the bill).\u00a0 The governor may also allow a bill to become law without his signature.\u00a0 Most signed bills take effect on 1 July, although bills with an \u201cemergency clause\u201d (considered immediately necessary for public safety) take effect upon signature by the governor.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first items of business in each session is the adoption of the session calendar, identifying dates by which bills must clear various hurdles.\u00a0 Essentially, it tells you how fast the train will move \u2013 and in a short session year, that\u2019s pretty fast.\u00a0 A bill that fails to clear the policy committee or chamber floor by the designated date is generally considered dead for the year, although they may be \u201cresurrected\u201d by parliamentary procedure.\u00a0 I\u2019ll post the cut-off dates for the 2020 session in the next issue of GOAL Post.<\/p>\n<p>The following links can be used to contact legislators:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.leg.wa.gov\/Senate\/Senators\/<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.leg.wa.gov\/House\/Representatives\/<\/p>\n<p>Legislative e-mail addresses are available at <a href=\"http:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/MemberEmail\/Default.aspx\">http:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/MemberEmail\/Default.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The link contains a quick tutorial on providing testimony at public hearings on bills under consideration.\u00a0 I would urge you to read it and consider visiting Olympia to let YOUR voice be heard.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/leg.wa.gov\/legislature\/Pages\/Testify.aspx\">http:\/\/leg.wa.gov\/legislature\/Pages\/Testify.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>A few points on public testimony:<\/strong> keep your comments brief, typically three minutes or less; limit it to two or three main points; do not attack or insult opponent testimony or question others\u2019 motives; it helps to have a written copy of your testimony prepared and drop off with committee staff in the event you are not called on to testify (committee chair has complete control over who is called to testify and time is limited \u2013 they are typically very even-handed).\u00a0 As with letters or e-mail to your legislators, always be polite and courteous.<\/p>\n<p>Public hearings are committee meetings open to the public, where the public is allowed to testify on bills, to give their views on the bill.\u00a0 But all votes on bills taken by a committee are conducted in what are called \u201cexecutive sessions.\u201d\u00a0 They are typically part of a public session, with a few minutes set aside to vote on bills previously heard by the committee.\u00a0 Public testimony is just that, open to the public for comment.\u00a0 On the other have, no public input is allowed during executive session.\u00a0 You are welcome to sit there, and to count votes, but silence from the public is the rule.\u00a0 Just FYI for those of you who have not attended legislative public meetings before.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, no gun bills are scheduled to be heard the first week of the session.<\/p>\n<p>Legislative committee schedules are posted on the legislative web site on Wednesday evenings for the coming week..
