We break down two key legislative debates happening in Olympia:
Senate Bill 5331 – A consumer protection bill that increases accountability for insurance companies violating state regulations. If passed, it would allow the Office of the Insurance Commissioner to order restitution for overcharged customers and raise penalties for violations.
House Bill 1457 – A bipartisan proposal to require real-time electronic monitoring of sexually violent predators who are conditionally released. Supporters say the measure will enhance public safety by setting geographic boundaries and alerting authorities to any violations. 3/3/25
