My day in Olympia began with a Government Operations and Elections Committee Hearing where we’re accepting testimony on five bills. House Bill 1101 designates July 25 as Patient Safety Day. House Bill 1143 adds requirements related to early termination of existing procurement contracts; states the governor has authority to terminate any master contract for goods and services; limits contracts for services and goods to terms of no more than three years, not to exceed ten years with extensions; requires the governor to approve certain contractual increases; and provides a definition for "public agency."
House Bill 1297 implements a recommendation of the Sunshine Committee by clarifying what information resulting from background checks of a guardian ad litem may and may not be disclosed to the parties in a parent-child termination action. House Bill 1298 also implements recommendations of the Sunshine Committee by making changes to exemptions from public inspection and copying related to personal information contained in agency files, examination reports held in the Office of the Insurance Commissioner, and examination reports obtained by the Washington Pollution Liability Insurance Program. House Bill 1299 also implements some recommendations of the Sunshine Committee by changing the exemption from disclosure relating to the identifying information of child victims of sexual assault to be inclusive. It adds an exemption from disclosure for information contained in a local or regionally maintained gang database. Finally, it repeals the exemption from disclosure for certain identifying data relating to medical malpractice closed claim reporting.
We’ll be considering three bills for Executive Action later in the hearing.
