Mosbrucker Energy Resource Review Bill Signed By Inslee

Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed into law 14th District Representative Gina Mosbrucker’s bill to review the state’s energy grid annually, a little more than a year after he vetoed a similar bill from the Goldendale Republican.  Under House Bill 1117, the Department of Commerce and the Utilities and Transportation Commission are directed to convene energy resource adequacy stakeholder meetings at least once a year until 2031.  At those meetings, it is required to specifically address the risk of rolling blackouts and inadequacy events, discuss how proposed laws and regulations may require new state policy for resource adequacy, and identify incentives to enhance and ensure resource adequacy.   Inslee also signed Mosbrucker’s House Bill 1512.   Known as the “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People and Lucian Act,” the bill will provide resources for immediate actions that need to take place when a person vanishes.  It is named after four-year-old Lucian Munguia, who was reported missing on September 10 from Sarg Hubbard Park in Yakima and drowned in the Yakima River.
