2013 Proposed Legislation Affecting Libraries 02/25/2013

Wednesday, February 27th, 2013 Posted in For Libraries, For the Public, News, Updates | Comments Off on 2013 Proposed Legislation Affecting Libraries 02/25/2013


 Courtesy of the Legislative Planning Committee, Washington Library Association Library Related Legislation. The Washington Library Association (WLA) tracks state legislative activity that will potentially affect Washington Libraries.

For information on the legislative process or becoming involved, see the WLA site referenced above.

The first phase of the legislative session is over, the first bill cut-off has been reached. Bills that were not voted out of committee are technically dead for session.  They could be revived by a procedural motion on the Floor, but this is rare.

Bills that did pass out of committee, and do not have any fiscal impact on the budget go straight to the Rules Committee which is the “gate-keeper” to the Floor of the House or Senate.

For bills that have a fiscal impact they have moved to the Senate Ways & Means or House Appropriations.  To remain alive, these bills must be voted out of their respective fiscal committee by (March 1, 2013).  From there they go to the Rules Committee.

Bills can still be amended in fiscal committees or the Floor, but not in Rules Committee.  When this happens the amendments are usually rolled into a Substitute bill.  This can result in a total rewrite of the bill. 

As bills continue to move through the process and are amended, we will continue to send these updated versions. Bills marked with strike-through indicate those bills which are technically dead.
