Washington State legislators have introduced House Bill 1868 during the 68th Legislature's 2024 regular session. Spearheaded by Democratic State Representatives Walen, Berry, Ramel, Duerr, Slatter, Reed, Kloba, Macri, Street, Gregerson, Hackney, Pollet, and Davis, the bill aims to significantly reduce emissions from outdoor power equipment, such as gas-powered lawnmowers and leaf blowers, which are major contributors to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Filed on December 5, 2023, and read for the first time on January 8, 2024, HB 1868 has been referred to the Committee on Environment & Energy, marking the beginning of its journey through legislative scrutiny. This ambitious legislation seeks to amend several chapters of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and introduces new sections aimed at promoting the use of zero-emission outdoor power equipment.
