Two Mosbrucker Bills Signed By Governor

Two bills introduced this session by Washington State 14th District Representative Gina Mosbrucker have been signed by Governor Jay Inslee.  An effort in which Mosbrucker began more than three years ago to create a task force to identify the role of the workplace in helping to curb domestic violence culminated as the governor affixed his signature to House Bill 1315.  It requires the Department of Commerce to convene a task force on domestic violence and workplace resources that would review the role of the workplace in the lives of individuals experiencing domestic violence, the appropriate role of employers and employees in helping to reduce the incidence of domestic violence, and whether legislation is needed to address these issues.  Inslee also signed Mosbrucker’s House Bill 1455, which prohibits the Employment Security Department and Labor and Industries from requiring and using full Social Security numbers from citizens who need their services.  It was written in response to the massive personal data breach in the state Auditor’s Office affecting those who filed for unemployment benefits in 2020.
