March 18th - 2013 Regular Legislative Session Day 64

I really want to thank everyone who called and emailed the Legislature over the past two weeks voicing their position on several pieces of legislation. I simply cannot express how thankful I am for the support you are providing those of us in Olympia fighting to preserve freedom and liberty in Washington State.

After a nice weekend of sunshine and family, I’m back in Olympia. I taped a radio show with Reps Matt Shea and Jason Overstreet and now I’m in the Appropriations Committee hearing four bills. House Bill 1972 eliminates the Public Printing Revolving Account and transfers revenue and fund balance to the Enterprise Services Account; changes the Enterprise Services Account from a partially non-appropriated account to a fully non-appropriated account; and changes the administering agency for the Personnel Service Fund from both the Office of Financial Management and Department of Enterprise Services to only the Office of Financial Management.

House Bill 1982 repeals the requirement for the State Lottery to conduct a Veteran's Day Raffle.

Senate Bill 5220 requires the law enforcement officers eligible to vote in a Law Enforcement Officers' and Fire Fighters' Retirement System (LEOFF) Plan 1 disability board's jurisdiction to elect a second board member if there are no firefighters under a LEOFF Plan 1 disability board's jurisdiction eligible to vote.

Senate Bill 5287 eliminates numerous accounts and transfers amounts remaining in those accounts to the State General Fund or another account; changes the Enterprise Services Account from a partially non-appropriated account to a fully non-appropriated account; and modifies other provisions relating to several accounts.
