WA bill could help ease renewable energy development tensions
In the Pacific Northwest, conversations about renewable energy can get pretty heated. Residents often raise concerns about fragmented wildlife habitats, disturbed cultural resources, and cluttered viewsheds. But a bill winding through the Washington legislature could help ease some of those tensions. House Bill 1216 would set up a formal process for “least conflict siting” which would help identify the least controversial places to build – and avoid common issues with renewable developments. The bill was requested by Gov. Jay Inslee. After passing the Washington House earlier this month, the Senate Committee on Environment, Energy and Technology Committee held a public hearing on Wednesday on the bill. Continue reading at KNKX.

Lawmaker shares personal story of being stalked by ex-boyfriend in hopes of passing domestic violence bill
In public hearings on legislative proposals, lawmakers are used to hearing from those who say the system is broken. But rarely does that criticism come from their peers. Rep. Lauren Davis (D-Shoreline) told state senators that getting state protection from a stalker was difficult. Her bill would offer legal aid to low-income domestic violence survivors, establish a statewide domestic violence prosecutor to help smaller counties prosecute domestic violence and stalking cases, and would expand the Tiffany Hill Act. That 2020 law, named after a Clark County mother who was killed by her estranged husband, requires someone identified as a stalker to have to wear a GPS device that alerts a victim and police if the stalker is closer to the victim than they are allowed to be.

House passes Ortiz-Self’s bill to regulate conditions in private detention facilities
The Washington House of Representatives has passed, with a bipartisan majority, a bill regulating conditions in private detention facilities in Washington. House Bill 1470, sponsored by Rep. Lillian Ortiz-Self (D-Mukilteo), mandates that conditions at private detention facilities are up to the same standards as public facilities. It tasks the Department of Health with regulating and inspecting these facilities, and it allows the attorney general to enforce violations of these rules. The bill also creates a private right of action and civil penalties for violations and subjects these facilities to the Public Records Act. “This bill is about sending a message to private detention facilities that, if they are going to make money off of people in our state, they must abide by the same standards as our public facilities,” said Ortiz-Self. Continue reading at Mukilteo Beacon.

Washington’s first carbon auction sold pollution for $300 million
In its first year of implementation, under the Climate Commitment Act, passed in 2021, businesses convene through an online platform and propose how much they want to pay for each allowance, which is equal to one metric ton of carbon emissions. The state sold more than six million allowances, totaling $300 million. The act requires that this revenue fund climate solutions, like electric vehicles, and invest in communities facing environmental justice concerns, like those overburdened by poor air quality.

Safe staffing for hospitals bill makes its way through Legislature. Does it go far enough?
A proposed Senate bill to address safe staffing in hospitals is making its way through the Washington Legislature and has now advanced to the House, where a public hearing was held Wednesday in the House Labor and Workplace Standards Committee. Attempts to pass similar legislation last year were unsuccessful, as groups such as the Washington State Hospital Association argued that safe-staffing standards set in that version of the proposed legislation were too “rigid.” That legislation would have set safe-staffing standards into state statute.

WA Legislature moving in right direction with gun control bills
In 2013, the Gifford Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gave Washington a grade of C for its gun laws. Today, the state has a B, a nod to laws passed over the decade designed to make residents safer. By the end of this legislative session, Washington has a chance to move up to an A. Three bills are making their way through the Legislature that would help make that doable: House Bill 1240, banning the sale and manufacturing of assault-style weapons; House Bill 1143, creating a 10-day waiting period for the purchase of firearms and Senate Bill 5078, which allows the state to sue gun manufacturers. This is the seventh year an assault-weapons ban has been introduced, and according to a Seattle Times 2022 poll, most Washington voters agree with a ban. Of 825 people polled 91% of Democrats strongly support or somewhat support a ban. Overall, 61% of respondents strongly support or somewhat support a ban. Continue reading at Seattle Times.

Plans for Billy Frank Jr. statue at U.S. Capitol move ahead
Billy Frank Jr., the late Nisqually environmental leader and treaty rights activist, is one step closer to representing Washington state at the U.S. Capitol. What’s happening: An artist has been chosen to design a statue of Frank that will soon be placed in the National Statuary Hall. The monument to Frank, who fought to defend tribal fishing rights, will replace one of Marcus Whitman, a murdered missionary whose legendary heroism has now been challenged and, to some degree, debunked. The protests, or “fish ins,” that Frank helped lead in the 1960s and 1970s paved the way for the 1974 Boldt decision, which affirmed that tribes were entitled to half the yearly fish harvest. Before the decision, Frank was arrested dozens of times for standing up for the treaty-protected rights of tribes to fish in their usual and accustomed places. Continue reading at Axios.

‘Culture of secrecy’: Bill to increase hazing penalty moves closer to final passage
misdemeanor, raising the penalty from a maximum 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000, to a maximum 364-day jail sentence and a fine of up to $5,000. The Bill passed the state House of Representatives unanimously, and all Spokane-area Representatives voted for the bill. Penalties for hazing could increase as the state House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill to reclassify the crime from a misdemeanor to a gross misdemeanor. The bill this year would increase the penalty for hazing from where it stands currently as a misdemeanor, resulting in a maximum 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000, to a gross misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum 364-day jail sentence and a fine of up to $5,000. In instances where hazing results in substantial bodily harm, the bill would make it a class C felony, resulting in up to 5 years in prison and a maximum fine of $10,000.

Biden issues order to strengthen gun background checks
President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Tuesday aiming to increase the number of background checks to buy guns, promote more secure firearms storage and ensure U.S. law enforcement agencies are getting the most out of a bipartisan gun control law enacted last summer. The Democratic president was set to address his latest efforts to curb gun violence in a speech from Monterey Park, California. In January, a gunman stormed a dance hall in the community near Los Angeles and shot 20 people, killing 11, following a Lunar New Year celebration. Continue reading at The Associated Press.

WA House passes bill taking aim at warehouse productivity quotas
The Washington state House passed a bill seeking broader protections and transparency for warehouse employees. House Bill 1762, which received approval on March 6,would require employers to provide written descriptions of their production quotas and work speed data. Employers would have to factor in sufficient time for breaks and would be prohibited from retaliating over missed quotas. The bill would apply to employers with 100 or more employees at a single warehouse distribution center or 500 or more in-state employees at multiple warehouses.

These test strips might help prevent fentanyl overdoses, but they’re illegal
Health officials say fentanyl test strips could help prevent accidental overdoses, but under current law, they’ve been illegal because they fall under the definition of drug paraphernalia. Lawmakers hope to change that with House Bill 1006, dubbed “Allisone’s Law, named for a young woman who died of a fentanyl overdose and whose mother, Genevieve Schofield, of Kent, is advocating for the test strips. The bill passed in the House and is now in the Senate for consideration. Continue reading at The Seattle Times. (Daniel Kim)

Another major cutoff in the WA Legislature: Here’s what passed and what didn’t
Wednesday marked another major deadline during the 2023 legislative session as bills had to be passed out of their house of origin in order to continue their progress in the state Legislature.

Andy Billig, D-Spokane, told reporters that Senate Democrats were “pleased” with the policies that will advance forward and that lawmakers had tackled many significant issues so far.

Washington lawmakers are getting back into the swing of working on legislation in committees following a key cutoff deadline. Legislative leaders are celebrating bipartisan progress on bills to increase the supply of housing and support workforce development, particularly among nurses. House Speaker Laurie Jinkins (D-Tacoma) said she’s pleased with how the week and a half of full time floor action went, highlighting the high number of bills passed — many with bipartisan support. “One of the things I asked at the beginning of the session – I asked my caucus – was to focus on common ground,” Jinkins said.

Washington state may boost 988 hotline funding as demand grows
Last summer, the federal government made access to suicide and crisis counseling much simpler by launching the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline – a shorter version of the (still functional) 10-digit suicide prevention hotline. Now, as awareness spreads, call centers are feeling pressure to keep up with the growing number of people seeking 24/7 behavioral health support by calling or texting 988 to have a confidential conversation with someone trained to help, free of charge. State lawmakers are considering a proposal this session to boost funding for the 988 service. House Bill 1134 would add money to the budget to support rapid-response teams, provide more comprehensive training for responders, and put into motion a statewide marketing campaign.
