Legislation

The Washington Legislature convened for a 60-day session on January 11.  The dominate topic for lawmakers will undoubtedly be filling the $2.6 billion budget hole. 

Still, it’s expected that the trial lawyers will actively lobby to expand liability costs for state government, local governments, businesses and non profits despite the dire economic consequences.

The LRC is prepared to fight off any such proposals.  Each week, the LRC will update the Bill Tracker and provide written commentary on the week’s events.  To subscribe the LRC Weekly Legislative Update, contact Dana Childers.
