What's Going on in Olympia?
'Tis the season for legislation and all that good stuff...here's rundown of a few items winding their way through the Capitol which are of interest to the construction industry:
- False Claims Act. A proposal to create a false claims act in Washington (Senate Bill 5144) is being opposed by the AGC.
- Subcontractor Listing Statute. Major revisions to this statute (RCW 39.30.060) are proposed in Substitute Senate Bill 5969.
- Viaduct Tunnel Project. This bill proposes to put the deep bore tunnel option on the fast track.
