With over two thirds of this year’s Washington legislative session already in the books, law-makers in Olympia are frantically hoping too insure that it adjourns on time by March 8. 14th district Representative Gina McCabe says the countless number of bills now being considered, including a half dozen of her own, have just reached the House of Origin cutoff, where they are being forwarded for review by the other house. One of the bills sponsored by the Goldendale Republican would help fight the state’s opioid crisis.
Another priority bill backed by McCabe known as Erin’s Law’ would help establish age-appropriate, sexual abuse prevention curriculum in Washington schools.
