This week saw some late night floor action, the start of “opposite chamber” policy committee hearings, and SB 5974 passed out of the House Human Services, Youth, & Early Learning committee this morning (9-2)!

Today marks day 33 of session, meaning we are more than halfway through this short, 60-day session. 

This week marked the first major deadline of legislative session – all bills had to receive a vote in the policy committee by Wednesday 1/31.

As we end Week 3, we’re just a few days away from the first major cutoff of legislative session. All bills must have a hearing and receive a vote by Wednesday, January 31 in a policy committee or they will not move forward this session.

Despite the frigid temperatures in Olympia and around the state, it was a week packed with hearings.

Just 55 days remaining to consider hundreds of policy proposals and develop a supplemental budget, things are moving very quickly.
