One of our top policy priorities this legislative session is HB 1303 – also known as the CURB Act – a bill that will improve the State environmental permitting process for projects like the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). The bill must be voted on in the House by Wednesday, March 12—and you can help make it happen!
Front and Centered (who were instrumental in creating HB1303 and its predecessor the 2021 HEAL Act) have created a one-minute form that will make sure your message gets to every member of the House immediately.

Tell your state representative to pull HB 1303 from the Rules Committee and vote YES to strengthen environmental justice protections in Washington’s State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
By passing HB 1303, we ensure that environmental justice reviews under SEPA follow the Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act’s definition of environmental justice. That means addressing disproportionate environmental and health impacts, prioritizing overburdened communities, ensuring fair distribution of resources, and eliminating harm.

Why you should do this?
HB 1303 adds environmental justice as an official element of environmental review processes under SEPA, requiring the Department of Ecology to develop standardized mitigation measures for adverse impacts. It builds upon the 2021 HEAL Act by integrating environmental justice considerations into governmental decision-making to reduce health disparities statewide.
