Washington State House Republicans have introduced a package of legislation to address a recent State Supreme Court decision that ruled the state’s drug possession law is unconstitutional. 14th District Representative Gina Mosbrucker is the ranking Republican on the House Public Safety Committee. She says the decision is retroactive and could affect thousands of convictions, so the Republicans on the committee introduced five bills to help counter fallout from the ruling. Proposed legislation would increase behavioral health system responses to individuals on drugs, help youth with substance abuse problems, allow local governments to enact laws and ordinances relating to possession of controlled substances, and expand offenses and penalties for manufacture, sale and distribution of hard drugs.
