Biden/House Act On Formula Crisis, Criticism Grows
Bills to ease the formula shortage head to the Senate after passing the House late last night, and Pres. Biden’s invoking the Defense Production Act — but criticism of the crisis is growing.
Gov. Bob Ferguson has enacted House Bill 2294, a legislative measure designed to safeguard access to essential services by prohibiting property restrictions that hinder the establishment of new grocery stores or pharmacies in neighborhoods following a closure. This law aims to ensure communities maintain access to food and medicine, addressing the challenges posed by store closures.
