EP-004 – Rules Schmules and Protected Identity
Erica Engelhart and Jay Fratt get in the weeds this weeks covering the legislative process in Olympia. But within those weeds grows an invasive species of rules that will impact and bind the Legislature this session, which can have a dramatic impact on the passage of bills. Oly Insider doesn’t just cover controversial topics, we bring you the voices within the Legislature at the front lines of the bill making process.
Rule 20 within the January 24th House Floor Session made a lot of headlines in Washington State politics. The rule was part of HR-4607, a procedural resolution that begins each House session developing and voting on the rules that will bind the House Legislature for the year.
Oly Insider spoke to Jim Walsh (Rep LD19) about how Rule 20 impacts the legislative process in Olympia.
Representative Travis Couture (Rep LD35) posted on X further concerns that came out of the floor rules resolution.
