Crunch time - we're in Rules!
HBs 2728 and 3103, and SB 6358 have passed through standing committees and are in the Rules Committees.
This is great news, and thank you all for your efforts in communicating with the Legislature in the last few days; I really think it made a big difference for HB 2728.
The Bills have moved to the Rules committees for the second reading; it's up to those committees whether or not the Bills are read again at all, and whether or not they move onto their third reading, which is the House or Senate vote to move it into law.
We have sent our own letters of support to ensure that the addresses and formatting work, and updated the Support Legislation webpage. There are now two email forms, and two sample letters.
Please take a few minutes and send your support for these Bills to Olympia. If you'd prefer, you can call the members of each Rules committee, House or Senate. If you select the links, and then select the various names, their contact information will be immediately visible.
To save you time, the Chair of the Senate Rules committee is Rosa Franklin, and her office is reached at (360) 786-7656. The Chair of the House Rules Committee is Frank Chopp, and his office can be reached at (360) 786-7920.
Thank you for your efforts. Every single email and phone call really does make a difference.
