The 2022 Washington Legislative Session is underway, which means we can do a lot of good by making our priorities known to our local representatives! For local bills, it is easy to make an impact by signing in as Pro or Con to legislative sessions to show that you support or object to bills as they come up. Reminder: signing in Pro or Con to a session does not mean you have to attend or testify!
A couple important bills are having their first hearings this afternoon, so sign in as Pro to make your support known!
ACTION: Sign in as Pro Police Reform and Tenant’s Rights
HB 1507 would create an office of independent police prosecutor. WA Coalition for Police Accountability is asking supporters of police reform to sign in as PRO today by 12:30 to show your support: https://app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifier/Add?chamber=House&mId=29372&aId=143496&caId=18556&tId=3&link_id=9&can_id=cf5e89e8061788770c65094abd6aa7a5
HB1300 would protect tenants from unexpected move-out bills and hidden charges by clarifying the meaning of “normal wear and tear”, prohibiting excessive charges by landlords, helping tenants get their own money returned to them and way more. Sign in as PRO today by 12:30 to show your support: https://app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifier/Add?chamber=House&mId=29395&aId=143553&caId=18537&tId=3
