Courtesy Legislative Planning Committee, Washington Library Association State Bills of Interest.

The Washington Library Association(WLA) tracks state legislative activity that will potentially affect Washington Libraries. Their tracker is posted to the WLA web site and we will also post it weekly on this blog.  For information on the legislative process or becoming involved see the WLA site referenced above.

What is the X-File?  After certain cut-off dates, the Senate Rules Committee sometimes places bills in the X-File, if they are no longer eligible for consideration.  This removes them from calendars and the status sheet. These bills have been removed from the tracker.
