Legislative Spotlight

It is shaping up to be a very active legislative session with more than a dozen proposed bills which have potential impact to Emergency Management programs across the State. Of primary interest are:

- House Bill 1271 – This bill amends more than a dozen RCWs to ensure continuity of operations of county elected officials during pandemics. It also adds representation of Coroners/Medical Examiners to the Emergency Management Council (EMC).

- House Bill 1340 – This bill directs the creation of a State-wide pandemic preparation and response task force, something along the lines of what was implemented following the SR530 Landslide disaster in 2014.
