The passage of HB 2048 at the end of last month was an incredible victory that will bring our state closer to ending homelessness. After 2048 goes into effect, at least 71,000 will either be saved from entering the brutality of homelessness or will be lifted out of it. But the County Auditors are trying to prevent this. They are asking the Governor to veto the bill.

Please call the Governor’s office today at 360-902-4111 and ask her to sign HB 2048 in full and as soon as possible.

Why are the auditors asking the Governor to veto the bill?
Because they hold a conservative opposition to fees in general. As you may recall, tremendous efforts were taken to address and appease their concerns. Language was added to the bill early on to ensure that the fees only apply to real estate related documents and later, another amendment was added so that the auditors themselves wouldn’t have to determine which documents the fees apply to. Yet they keep creating new concerns. Please contact the Governor to tell her enough is enough. This bill is too important to the many in Washington struggling in homelessness or struggling to keep a roof over their heads. 2048 must be signed into law, in full, as soon as possible.
