Another reason to love home. Washington State house and senate passed a bill to allow sbr's. Just needs the governors signature, and even if he doesn't  sign it there should be enough support to over turn the veto. Only 3 voted against it I guess.

if the passage of laws in Washington state is anything like it is here in Hawaii, the governor does not need to sign bills in order for he bill to become law.  this is more of a passive action (i know it's an oxymoron).

a veto only happens when the governor chooses (active action) to veto the bill.  in that case, the legislature would need a super majority to overturn the veto.

Very true, any bill not signed within 30 days, it will become law. If he vetoes it, then the super majority comes into play.

Congrats!   :thumbsup:  The wife and I are looking forward to retiring there.
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.
