Clerks report signed measures and message transmissions from the other chamber

Washington State Legislature · March 12, 2026

Summary

Clerks read messages that the Speaker and President signed several measures on March 12, 2026, including House Concurrent Resolution 4409 and Senate concurrent resolution 8410 and notices about engrossed substitute Senate bills.

On March 12, 2026, clerks on the House and Senate floors read a string of formal messages confirming signatures and transmittals of measures between chambers.

The House clerk read that the Senate had adopted House Concurrent Resolution 4409; later the clerk recorded that the Speaker had signed HCR 4409. The clerk also reported that the Senate had adopted Senate concurrent resolution 8410 and that the President had signed SCR 8410 for transmission. Messages identified Melissa Palmer, deputy chief clerk, as the signing/deputy clerk on some transmittals and recorded a deputy secretary (named in the transcript as Colleen Bahar/Pahard) on others.

The clerks additionally reported that the President had signed engrossed substitute Senate Bill 5998 and substitute 6003 as presented in the transcript's reading. The House acknowledged receipt of the messages. The transcript does not provide bill texts, sponsors, or detailed roll-call tallies for these messages; it records only the formal read-ins and acknowledgments on the floor.

These readings were part of routine end-of-day and pre-adjournment business and were followed by the House’s ceremonial sine die preparations and floor clearance instructions.
