The legislature is considering bills related to indigent defense. SB 5531 and 2SHB 1542 would establish a system for the Washington State Office of Public Defense to distribute grants to counties to improve their systems for indigent defense. The funds would have to be appropriated; the bills themselves do not commit the funds.
