(The Center Square) – While Democrats say the proposal could level the playing field, their conservative counterparts argue it would allow homeless people to undermine local law. State legislators heard a second round of public testimony on House Bill 1380 on Wednesday, with over 2,300 people signed in. 

Washington’s public affairs network, TVW, aired an episode of The Impact following the public hearing. The show examined HB 1380, with sponsor Rep. Mia Gregerson, D-SeaTac, stating it’s not about giving out settlements; she said it provides a framework for passing reasonable laws.
