Senate Bill 6171, one of the three priority bills for NMTA this legislative session, continues to make progress.
You may recall it passed the state Senate 48-1 and is now going through the House of Reps committee structure.
On Friday of last week, Peter Schrappen and Capt David Sloate was joined by Lee Reaves of the Puget Sound Pilots to testify in support of this bill which makes it easier for boats to visit our area.
You can catch the testimony here: http://www.tvw.org/index.php?option=com_tvwplayer&eventID=2012021147#start=5527&stop=5732
Even more good news on this bill: It was voted out of this committee later in the day with a 25-0 vote.
As for next steps, the bill moves to the Rules Committee where we hope it will be plucked out of their by a Rules Committee member. If/when this occurs, it will (or will not ) be scheduled for a Floor vote in the House for a vote in front of the entire House of Represenatives.
