From 14th District Representative Gina Mosbrucker 2/15
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
The Legislature is now several days past the halfway point of the scheduled 60-day session. Tuesday at 5 p.m. was the house of origin cutoff. Bills must have been reported out of the chamber where they originated to advance through the Legislature. Only bills necessary to implement the budget are exempt from the deadline.
In anticipation of that key deadline, we were on the House floor early Tuesday morning until 2:30 a.m., and we also worked early Saturday morning and into Saturday afternoon to deliberate, debate, and pass legislation.
To date, we have passed 276 House bills and sent them to the Senate. The Senate has passed and sent us 262 bills. None have gone to the governor yet for his signature, but that will happen soon.
Although the hours are long, I’m grateful to serve as we work to provide important solutions to the many challenges facing our state. We are working to address public safety, the drug crisis, housing and homelessness, affordability, child care and other issues. You can read more here about our priorities to fix Washington.
