Washington State Senators Voted to Pass 1267

Thank you to everyone who took the time to contact their Senator regarding E2SHB 1267. Unfortunately, 1267 passed with amendments 27 to 21 with one Senator excused.

Thankfully, one of the amendments removed paid surrogacy. However, this means that the bill will now return to the House.
