Things to watch during the 2022 legislative session
OLYMPIA — What lawmakers did, often on a partisan basis, during their 2021 session might be without precedent in breadth and scope.
A capital gains tax. A clean fuel standard. New rules for use of force by police. A ban on open carry of weapons at rallies. More protection for renters from evictions. A sales tax rebate for working families. And much more.
They did it in a pandemic. And they did it all virtually.
What can be expected when legislators convene Monday for their 2022 session?
They will be fixing and fine-tuning measures they already passed.
