Capitol Report with Rep. Peter Abbarno: Supporting veterans and protecting families

January 31, 2025

Rep. Peter Abbarno, R-Centralia, discusses two key bills aimed at supporting Washingtonians. House Bill 1016 seeks to reinstate and expand tax incentives for veterans and their families, providing meaningful support for those who served our country. Abbarno also highlights House Bill 1656, which he introduced to protect families from sudden utility rate hikes following disasters like wildfires, ice storms, and floods. By spreading these costs over time, the bill aims to provide greater financial stability for utility customers during especially challenging times.
