Keeping Track of the State Legislature
Legislation January 12th. 2010, 3:51pmThe Washington State Legislature is in session once again. Understanding the laws our local senators and representatives are proposing can be a daunting task but finding information about those laws isn’t, thanks to the many links provided on the Legislature’s web site. It provides a variety of ways to research legislative activity, including a link called Agendas, Schedules and Calendars. As the name implies, this link points to a series of pages where you can: 1) see a complete roster of standing, joint, and select committees; 2) view the past, present and upcoming agendas of those committees; 3) see related bill and bill analysis information; 4) find contact information for the senators and representatives serving on these committees. The site is complex and navigation between the links can sometimes be a bit confusing but it’s worth it to visit this portion of the State Legislature home page if you haven’t been there before.
