King 5: Domestic violence bill one step from becoming law
King 5 reports
With a single signature, domestic violence survivors say Governor Jay Inslee has the power to protect victims from their abusers.
After being voted a similar measure in the past, state senators approved HB 1840, which allows a judge the power to take away all firearms from a person with a restraining order if they’re considered a threat.
“It’s amazing to me to finally feel safe and know that this doesn’t have to happen to anyone else,” said Courtney Weaver, a survivor.
