🏛️ Government
Gov. Bob Ferguson signed several new laws to help families and keep people safe.
One law now requires baby-diaper changing stations in new or renovated public bathrooms starting July 27—other bills update training for cosmetologists, boost domestic violence help, improve wildfire response, add blood types on IDs, and let cities extend services to tribal lands—some measures took effect when they were signed.
Gov. Bob Ferguson signed a law that will require cars of dangerous speeders to have a GPS device that limits their speed.
The law is set to start Jan. 1, 2029—after a fatal crash in King County—and aims to reduce speeding risks after over 800 traffic deaths in 2023.
