Library Legislation Tracker - March 13, 2009

March 17, 2009

Courtesy Legislative Planning Committee, Washington Library Association State Bills of Interest. The Washington Library Association(WLA) tracks state legislative activity that will potentially affect Washington Libraries. Their tracker is posted to the WLA web site and we will also post it weekly on this blog. For information on the legislative process or becoming involved see the WLA site referenced above. Bills that are technically dead have been removed with strikethroughs. These will be removed from future trackers. 2075 was left on the list, to watch in case it comes back to life.
