Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed two bills authored by 14th District State Rep. Gina Mosbrucker to fight fentanyl addiction in Washington. House Bill 2396, also known as “Ivan’s Law,” creates an outreach educational program on the dangers of fentanyl. It also offers information to those released from jail on treatment programs related to fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. The bill is named after 24-year-old Ivan Howtopat, a Yakama Nation tribal member, who was suffering from fentanyl withdrawal when he committed suicide in the Klickitat County jail last May. The other Mosbrucker legislation the Governor signed is House Bill 1635, which creates a model program in Washington by July 1, 2025, for the training and certification of dogs to detect fentanyl. The measure also grants civil immunity to trained law enforcement officers who use a police dog in good faith in the line of duty to detect fentanyl. Both bills become effective June 6.
