As the Washington State Legislature gears up for the fifth week of the 2010 supplemental session all eyes will be on the fiscal committees in each chamber.

All fiscal committees must move bills with fiscal impacts to the floor of their respective chambers by end of day Feburary 9.

The appropriations committees (i.e. Senate Ways & Means and House Ways & Means) will meet Monday and Tuesday to continue their work on budget related matters and meet the legislative deadline.

The remainder of the week will be focused on the floors of the House and Senate. Both chambers will have until February 16 to move House bills to the Senate and vice versa.

After February 16 the process will re-start in a way as House bills go through the committee and floor process in the Senate and vice versa.
