Show Notes
Bob Wests decades-long campaign for tougher penalties against sports officials assaults culminated in Washington Governor Bob Ferguson signing a new law. This law, which adds referees to a list of protected school roles, makes it a gross misdemeanor to threaten or interfere with them. Offenders face fines, jail time, or both, and students or adults could be suspended or banned from events. The bill received overwhelming bipartisan support and honors Wests unwavering effort, setting a stronger standard for sportsmanship across Washington.
