-
Data & Privacy

Education

Healthcare

Housing

Justice
This page will be updated on January 12th, 2026, with Legislation that the Commission is tracking. For an example of what that will look like, visit last year's legislative session page.

In addition to reaching out to your state legislators (which you should absolutely do!), you are always welcome to reach out to contact@lgbtq.wa.gov to share your feedback on legislation. It is very helpful for us to hear your thoughts so that we can best advise the Governor and the Legislature on what is most important to our community. Please reference the bill number in the subject line of the email.
