WA Lege SpecSess: Running with the bills

OLYMPIA— Both the Senate and House start up around 10 a.m., with some housekeeping stuff, some caucusing and then plans to “run bills.”

Which is to say vote on them and likely pass them. Because everything “rebooted” for the special session, each house will have to pass bills that it previously passed but the other chamber did not pass.

That allows those bills to head back to the second house where work to amend or replace them can pick up where it left off last week.

Go inside the blog for the morning list of bills the House plans to take up today. Senate list should be forthcoming

Note: the list is tentative, and subject to change on short (or next to no) notice.
