The Washington State Senate has unanimously approved two of 14th District Rep. Gina Mosbrucker’s bills to address the state’s fentanyl crisis.  Both bills were amended and must receive final House approval before being sent to the governor. House Bill 2396, also known as “Ivan’s Law,” outlines specific requirements for the state Department of Health, including consideration of the phrase, “Not even once” when designing public outreach campaigns on the danger of fentanyl.  House Bill 1635 would create a model program in Washington for the training and certification of dogs to detect fentanyl.  Under the amended bill, the state’s Criminal Justice Training Commission must develop model standards for training and certification of fentanyl-detecting dogs by July 1, 2025.  The measure also needs final House approval before being sent to the governor.  The 2024 session is scheduled to end Thursday.
