Help Support a Ban of Non-Tribal Gillnets in Washington BREAKING NEWS: Washington Senate Bill 5617 has been introduced to ban the use of non-tribal gillnets statewide. It currently has 24 cosponsors out of 49 total Senators! Please help us secure additional co-sponsors and thank those already sponsoring the bill by: 1. Immediately call the legislative hotline at 800-562-6000 and leave a message for your State Senator either thanking them or urging them to support Senate Bill 5617. See back page for a list of supporting and undecided Senators. 2. Respond to upcoming CCA Washington action alerts and/or visit ccawashington.org for updates on how you can help pass this legislation. Here’s what Senate Bill 5617 would do: • Ban the use of non-tribal gillnets for taking of salmon statewide beginning on January 1, 2023. • Authorizes a voluntary buyback of non-tribal gillnet permits. This is a HUGE development and we must do all we can to support these lawmakers who are standing up for our fish! for More information: WWW.ccawashington.ORG 360.694.4300 Supporting Senators Undecided Senators Ann Rivers (R) John Braun (R) Andy Billig (D) Manka Dhingra (D) Annette Cleveland (D) Judy Warnick (R) Barbara Bailey (R) Mark Mullet (D) Christine Rolfes (D) Karen Keiser (D) Bob Hasegawa (D) Mark Schoesler (R) Claire Wilson (D) Kevin Van De Wege (D) Brad Hawkins (R) Maureen Walsh (R) David Frockt (D) Lynda Wilson (R) Curtis King (R) Mike Padden (R) Emily Randall (D) Marko Liias (D) Dean Takko (D) Patty Kuderer (D) Guy Palumbo (D) Mona Das (D) Doug Ericksen (R) Randi Becker (R) Jamie Pedersen (D) Phil Fortunato (R) Hans Zeiger (R) Reuven Carlyle (D) Jeannie Darneille (D) Rebecca Saldaña (D) Jeff Holy (R) Shelly Short (R) Jesse Salomon (D) Sam Hunt (D) John McCoy (D) Steve Hobbs (D) Jim Honeyford (R) Sharon Brown (R) Keith Wagoner (R) Steve O’Ban (R) Joe Nguyen (D) Steve Conway (D) Lisa Wellman (D) Tim Sheldon (D) CCA would like to thank all of our statewide sponsors..
