Yesterday, was the last day for bills in the state House and Senate to make it out of committee. Bills that didn’t make it out of committee yesterday are dead. The next cutoff date is February 19. That’s the last day for bills to pass one chamber and get sent over to the other.

Here’s the status of some bills I’ve been tracking over the session. And here are the 1970s, so you’ll read this post:

Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles’ (D-36) bill to track gifts from pharmaceutical companies to health care providers is alive.

Kohl-Welles’ bill to give universities like the UW the clear authority to ban guns on campus is dead.

Sen. Rodney Tom’s (D-41) bill requiring mortgage brokers to disclose all terms to borrowers is still alive.

Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen’s (D-10) governance reform bill to turn Sound Transit into a transit and roads agency is dead.

Sen. Joe McDermott’s (D-34) bill to protect student free speech is dead.

Rep. Jamie Pedersen (D-43) and Sen. Ed Murray’s (D-43) bills to expand domestic partnerships are alive.

Rep. Sharon Nelson’s (D-34) bills to halt strip mining on Maury Island are dead.

Rep. Geoff Simpson’s (D-47) bill to add carbon impacts into growth management act guidelines is alive.

Rep. Eric Pettigrew’s (D-37) bill to prevent discrimination against Section 8 tenants is alive (although, bad sign, a similar bill, Sen. Adam Kline’s version, was killed in committee.)

Rep. Jeannie Darnielle’s (D-27) bill to prevent discrimination against special needs housing is alive.

Sen. Karen Keiser’s (D-33) family leave bill is still alive, but Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown has told the press the funding isn’t there.

Keiser’s (D-33) health care expansion bill was rolled into, uggh, a task force bill.

The series of bills to postpone the reading and writing WASL graduation requirements are dead.

Rep. Phyllis Kenney’s (D-46) bill to exempt FlexCar (now ZipCar) from the rental car tax is alive.

Rep. Maralyn Chase’s (D-32) bill to ban plastic grocery bags is dead.

More to come.
