Less Government, Lower Taxes and More Freedom - 2014 Legislative Session Day 3

Today is going to be a long and busy day for me with three committee meetings and caucus time on my schedule. My first meeting is in the Local Government Committee where we’re hearing three bills. House Bill 2186 authorizes counties and cities to allow approved on-site sewage systems for sites located in existing developments in urban growth areas if connecting to a sanitary sewer system is cost prohibitive to a property owner and defines related terms, including "cost prohibitive."

House Bill 2187 extends the date by which certain counties participating in the Voluntary Stewardship Program of the Growth Management Act must review and, if necessary, revise development regulations to protect critical areas as they apply to agricultural activities.

House Bill 2188 authorizes diking districts to annex territory that is contiguous to and receives services from the district and establishes related annexation provisions and requirements.

2011 Legislative Session

Day 38 - We were able to move HB 1200 out of the General Government Appropriations Committee with a 12-0 vote. With any luck, citizens of WA State will be able to purchase fresh, healthy WA grown meat products in the grocery stores and restaurants by this fall. Today is the "Policy Cutoff" day, which means all policy bills in the house origin must be moved out of the various committees by 5:00 PM today. Monday is the "Fiscal Cutoff", except for bills Necessary to Implement the Budget or NTIB.

We should have some big news very, very soon ... stay tuned!
