Earlier this month we highlighted the good bills, the bad bills, and the fucking nutty bills working through Olympia this legislative session.

Now here’s an update of where all those bills we wrote about stand:

The Good News: The bill that would raise the price of car tabs to help fund King County Metro will be debated during upcoming budget negotiations; ditto for the so-called dance tax on Seattle’s dance floors; the bill that would grant cities the power to lower speed limits on non-arterial streets is alive; and three bills encouraging voter accessโ€”through pre-voter registration for teens, Election-day voter registration, and district-based elections (which promote minority representation)โ€”are also still kicking. In “meh” news, the bill requiring insurance companies to cover abortion costs if they cover maternity care on their policies (called Reproductive Parity) is alive but was assigned to a Republican-controlled Senate committee that will likely abort it.

The Good-Among-the-Dead News: Among bills we hated, the “training wage” bill that would’ve allowed employers to pay 75 percent of the state’s minimum wage to “train” workers suffered a fatal on-the-job accident, and one of the bills that would’ve invalidated Seattle’s local sick leave ordinance died from untreated syphilis on the Senate floor. (Another sick leave bill lives, and would exempt businesses outside of Seattle city limits. Boo.)

The Bad News: A bill that would help fully fund schools through a five percent increase to the capitol gains tax is dead, while a bill that would flunk kids who don’t pass third-grade reading in their underfunded schools passed out of the Senate and is working its way through the House. Also, the “gunshow loophole” will remain open, because the bill designed to close it is was shot in the face at close range. Bummer.

The Fucking Nutty News: The fucking nuts bills are all fucking dead. There will be no tax exemptions for purchasing clay pigeons, $40,000 in taxpayer money will not be devoted to honoring Ronald Reagan’s lifetime achievements, and the two-thirds tax requirement will not be revived, thank the fuck.
