In Session: police pursuit, gun bills survive cutoff deadline
Bills dealing with new gun restrictions and police pursuits survived a legislative cutoff deadline Wednesday.
A bill that would lower the threshold required for law enforcement in Washington state to engage in a vehicular pursuit passed the Senate on Wednesday.
The approval by the Senate follows the House rejecting a vote on a similar bill earlier this week.
Senate Bill 5352 would allow a police officer to engage in a pursuit if they have "reasonable suspicion" a person has committed or is committing a violent or sexual crime, domestic violence cases, escape, and driving under the influence.
