I am planning on writing a story covering HB 2754 – 2019-20. This bill addresses the “suicide and addiction crisis among American Indians and Alaska Natives” (HOUSE BILL 2754). The bill was proposed. The bill was first read on January 20, 2020 and is currently not in a committee. I believe this would be a very important topic to cover especially because of how pressing addiction and suicide are. The bill seeks to provide Native American communities with more access to resources to mend these issues. In the bill they state that these health disparities are a result of historical trauma experienced over multiple generations.
Another potential story I had in mind was a story covering the act proposed yesterday related to creating the Washington State office of equity. The bill was proposed to the State Government, Tribal Relations & Elections Committee on February 11, 2020.
