Bill Bruch's Legislative Bills List-with committee dates

HB 2210: CON - State Gov & Tribal Relations – Protecting local representation by strengthening and securing fair elections in local governments. CON - Executive Committee hearing Jan 23 @8 am. A county, city, town, school district, fire district, or port district may conduct its elections using Ranked Choice Voting (RCV).
CCRP comments: The flowery language of the title should set off alarm bells. This multi-voting procedure convolutes election transparency and confuses audits. Public hearing was on Jan. 13 (TVW.org recording). You can still send written comments to committee members.

SB 5892: CON – Senate State Government & Tribal Committee – Protecting the voter registration database. PUBLIC HEARING JAN 20 @ 1:30 PM.

Codifies SOS Hobbs’ new “emergency” WAC 434-324-145 – DL #, SS# and full birthdate of a registrant are confidential and can't be disclosed. Mandates that all Public Records Requests involving the statewide voter registration database must be handled exclusively by SoS. If a county elections office receives such a request, it “shall not produce any records in response to the request” and must instead redirect to the SoS. A “knowing violation” is defined as a violation of RCW 29A.84.150, which makes it a class C felony for an election official or designee to knowingly disclose or misuse voter registration data outside the scope of official duties.

CCRP Comments: What Secretary of State Hobbs is trying to use to keep from giving databases to The U.S. Department of Justice. This disallows the checking of non-citizens. At the minimum, the bill needs to be Amended to include protections for the private information of voters who sign petitions.
