#WAleg is looking to expand notifications for individuals placed outside of McNeil Island (the state's treatment center for s*x 0ffenders). Also, a bill to ban dynamic pricing at the grocery store. And an update on the sports betting bill which looks at placing bets on college sports.
Expanded notification for sex offender releases
Plus banning grocery-pricing bots and some wrinkles on that sports betting bill
