The following bills are only a handful of the total number introduced in the State House and Senate. They represent those bills that we believe are of particular interest to the religious community due to either their recent demonstrated interests or potential impact of these bills on that community. Some bills may escape our notice that should have been included; but, for the most part, bills that meet the criteria for inclusion should appear on the list unless they are not receiving a hearing in the 1998 session of the 55th Washington State Legislature.
