All legislative work will be carried out remotely this session because of the pandemic. However, this does not mean there’ll be restricted access to state government activities, in fact, quite the opposite: working remotely will present more opportunities for people in our area to safely participate in the legislative process.
Here are five ways for you to stay connected to your legislature from the safety of your home:
LEARN—The whole legislative process from start to finish.
WATCH—Go to TVW for broadcasts of committee hearings, work sessions and Floor action. If you’re interested in a particular event, but were not able to watch it live, TVW has you covered with its extensive and easy to search archives.
RESEARCH—The Legislative website has an entire page with different ways to look up legislation.
TESTIFY—Holding a remote session does not mean you don’t get to have your say. We have a brand new system for you to submit testimony on any bill.
EXPLORE—Visit the main House Democratic Caucus Website, Washington State Senate Democrats, House Republican Caucus, and Washington State Senate Republicans for information including: press releases, past newsletters, end-of-session reports and videos.
