A new law declaring Americans of Chinese descent History Month will take effect on July 23, 2023, making Washington the first state in the nation to do so.
OLYMPIA – A bill aimed to improve adult protective services moves to the desk of Washington Governor Jay Inslee. The bill would require the state Department of Social and Health Services and law enforcement to share information contained in reports and findings of abandonment, abuse, financial exploitation and neglect of vulnerable adults with each other.
“This bill helps us protect our vulnerable adults,” said Sen. Keith Wagoner (R-Sedro-Woolley), sponsor of the bill. Senate Bill 5370 was unanimously passed by the Washington House on Friday after also being unanimously passed by the Senate, and now moves to the Governor’s desk for consideration.
The group hoped to establish the month "to educate future generations on Americans of Chinese descent’s lives, histories, achievements, and contributions."
