WA State Legislature Update -- Call to Action!

Jan 19, 2021 Washington State Legislature Update

SB 5114 has been introduced which would allow for all business affected by the Governor’s current shutdowns to reopen safely and immediately under the standards of Phase 2.

Simply put, Washington citizens understand that safety is priority, and so we should have more thoughtful rules enabling our ability to operate safely!

The bill gets a hearing in the Senate State Government and Elections Committee at 8:00 AM Wednesday, January 20th.

Please sign up to testify so that you can tell your story directly to state legislators. There’s no need to come to Olympia - this year hearings are being held digitally with not much more required than clicking a link with a camera and microphone on your computer or phone.
