The WA legislature is moving forward a bill to protect health care providers that offer reproductive and gender affirming healthcare.

The bill summary is available at https://bit.ly/ShieldBillSummary.

The legislature very much cares about the number of people signing in pro or con on bills.

Please sign in PRO for the bill!

Can you commit to asking two more people to sign in PRO with you?

Here's the link you can share with them: https://bit.ly/ShieldLaw

#WashingtonState #ShieldLaw

The #ShieldLaw (SB 1469 / HB 5489) had hearings in both the House and the Senate. By the end of the week both committees had advanced versions of the bill (with the House making some amendments).

The #PeoplesPrivacyAct (HB 1616 / SB 5643), which broadens My Health My Data's consent requirements to all data and covers government agencies as well as corporations, was officially introduced – with bipartisan sponsorship. In the House, it's been assigned to CR&J.
