UPDATE 04/11/11:
Congratulations WA!! Gov. Gregoire signed today and it should go into effect 90 days from end of session (mid-June)! Thanks to everyone that called, emailed, and wrote their legislature. Glad to see this common sense legislation passed.
I posted about HB1016 (and SB5112) earlier urging folks to call/write their state legislator. I am pleased to post that HB1016 has passed the WA House and Senate. There was little opposition (only 4 Congressmen and ZERO Senators) voted against this common sense legislation.
It has been signed off by the House Speaker and Senate President. It now awaits the Governor's signature (or not). Please call/write your legislators and thank them!
