We’re working on the House Floor this morning. The first item of business is consideration of House Resolution 4617, Recognizing Japanese-American WWII Veterans and Internees. This is one of the many reasons Rep. Jason Overstreet sponsored HB 1581, creating the Washington state preservation of liberty act condemning the unlawful detention of United States citizens and lawful resident aliens under the national defense authorization act. We cannot let this happen again.
We’re also voting on a series of bills this morning. House Bill 1043 removes the authority for public baccalaureate institutions to set differential tuition rates for resident, undergraduate programs and removes the authority for the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to pilot or institute differential tuition models for resident, undergraduate programs. The vote was 95 to 1 with two excused.
Senate Bill 5147 requires unlicensed youth shelters or runaway programs must provide locating information for the youth to parents, law enforcement, or the department within eight hours of becoming aware that a youth is away from a lawful prescribed residence or home without permission. For licensed overnight shelters or programs with a stated mission to provide services to homeless or runaway youth and their families, must notify parents, the DSHS, or law enforcement within 72 hours of becoming aware that a youth is away from a lawful prescribed residence or home without permission. It is preferred that the notification occur within 24 hours. The vote was 89 to 7 with 2 excused.
