We have just gotten word from the governor's office that she will take action Monday on two key bills we've been following-one good, one bad.
The governor is set to sign into law ESHB 2049, the Federation-initiated bill bringing transparency and accountability to the Washington Management Service.
She is also set to take action on 2SHB 2106, the bill creating pilot projects that would privatize about 30 percent of Child Welfare Services within the Department of Social and Health Services. Your action made this bad bill better, but we have still urged the governor to veto it. Continue your calls to the legislative message center at 1-800-562-6000 to urge the governor to veto HB 2106.
The governor can sign, partially veto or completely veto legislation. On 2106, we'll finally know for sure on Monday.
The governor's bill actions are set for 3 p.m., this Monday, May 18, in the Governor's Conference Room at the state Capitol.
The governor today (Friday, May 15) is set to sign SHB 2339, the parks funding "opt out" bill keeping all state parks open.
