Critics also claim the legislation signed Tuesday removes parents from the health and mental health care decision-making process. Unlike other legislation recently signed in large public events by Inslee, SB 5599 was signed in a small closed event in a conference room at the state Capitol.
Introduced by far-left Democratic State Sen. Marko Liias, the bill will allow shelters or host homes to provide housing for runaway minors without being required to notify their parents if they have a "compelling reason" to keep the information a secret.
Notice that like the 'assault weapons' ban, Inslee signed this at the Capitol so no one could protest https://t.co/Qfj6vPFI37
