3:00 Legislative Update
-Review of bills currently in play
Bill Update: Two bills were incorrectly reported as dead (aka
not moving forward): ESSB 5365: Concerning youth purchase,
Holly Gumm
use, and possession of tobacco/vape products and SSB
5448: Concerning alcohol delivery.
The House originating companion bills for each of these bills
died, but these Senate versions are still moving forward.
Future legislative updates will include descriptions both of
these bills as they are actively moving through committees. I
apologize for the misinformation.
3:10 Guiding Good Choices Discussion
- Our current action plan requires us to deliver two cohorts of
Guiding Good choices during each school year. Despite
advertising and recruitment efforts during the fall of 2022
and January/Feb of 2023, no residents signed up for this
parenting course.
In an effort to enhance community knowledge about Guiding
Good Choices, we can deliver ‘mini’ sessions during the last
half hour of each coalition meeting between April and August
2023. This will satisfy grant requirement as well as provide
coalition education on the foundations of Guiding Good
Choices and the social development strategy upon which it is
built.

enforcement, and social/healthcare needs.
