Two bills sponsored by Washington State 14th District Representative Gina McCabe received approval from the Senate Law and Justice Committee this week.  On is the Travis Alert Act, which would allow people to submit information pertaining to an individual’s disability to the Enhanced 911 program so dispatchers could deliver critical information to first responders during emergencies, and also review existing procedures and ask the Department of Health to create a training program for first responders, providing instruction for how to best respond to emergencies involving persons with special needs.  The other bill would create the crime of voyeurism in the second degree.  McCabe introduced the legislation to combat the practice of “upskirting,” during which someone uses their mobile device to take a photo or record video under individuals’ skirts.  Under current law, a person must prove he or she was engaged in voyeurism for the purpose of arousal or sexual gratification.  The two bills now await Senate floor action prior to the 2017 legislative session adjournment set for April 23.
