In the March 25 Legislative Update, E2SHB 1776 was incorrectly shown as failing to make it out of the policy committee and was labeled "dead." Apparently the paperwork from the committee hadn't caught up with WSSDA's bill tracking site ... so, many apologies for that incorrect information.
As it is, the bill was pulled today from the Senate Rules Committee to the floor, which means it is in line for quicker action.
The bill would direct the Department of Early Learning to work on a process to license publicly owned buildings for pre- and after-school child care, and would involve the fire marshal in the process.
Seattle Public Schools supports the bill that is sponsored by newcomer Rep. David Frockt, D-Seattle. The House and Senate have until April 12 to pass bills from the opposite chamber.
