A measure authored by Washington 14^th District State Representative Gina Mosbrucker to create a Joint Legislative Task Force to identify the role of the workplace in helping to curb domestic violence gained unanimous approval in the House.  Under House Bill 1056, the new task force must review the role of the workplace in the lives of individuals experiencing domestic violence, the appropriate role of employers and employees in helping reduce the incidence of domestic violence, and whether legislation is needed to address these issues.  The task force would be made up of one member each from a number of different business, labor, and domestic violence prevention organizations.  A preliminary report of the task force findings would be provided to the Legislature by December 1 of this year, with a final report due next year.
