Washington State 14th District Representative Gina McCabe sponsored a resolution this week in honor and recognition of individuals with autism and their families to commemorate National Autism Awareness Month. House Resolution 4635 says through research, training, public services, support groups, advocacy, and increased awareness, there will be more understanding and support for the growing number of individuals with autism and their families. McCabe, a Goldendale Republican, is responsible for the Travis Alert Act bill making its way through the legislative process this session. The legislation 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. The bill passed the House and the Senate Law and Justice Committee, and now awaits a floor vote in the Senate.
