Washington State Lawmaker Proposes Fines for Overtime Legislative Sessions

OLYMPIA, Wash. - One Washington state senator says lawmakers need a greater incentive to avoid multiple overtime legislative sessions. ?

Senate Majority Leader Rodney Tom, a Democrat from Medina, says he plans to introduce a bill next year, that would fine lawmakers $250 every day they go past the end of a regular legislative session. ?

Tom said he will also propose stopping lawmakers' $90-per-day per diem during special sessions, meaning they'd have to pony up their own money for meals and expenses. ?

The state constitution sets the duration of legislative sessions at 105 days in odd-numbered years and 60 days in even-numbered ones.
