Procedural history & status

  • Record also lists additional entries in 2025 (introduced and adopted April 4, 2025; referred to House Committee on Veterans' Affairs July 23, 2025). These 2025 entries correspond to a distinct honorary resolution text in the file (see Notes below).

Notes / Clarifications

  • The legislative file includes multiple texts under HR 4647: the 2023 resolution honoring the Squalicum team and a separate 2025 honorary resolution recognizing Washington State Patrol K‑9 officer Inka. The presence of two different honorary texts and multiple sponsor lists suggests either reuse of the same docket number in different sessions or multiple related ceremonial resolutions; the substantive summary above pertains to the Squalicum High School wrestling team resolution adopted April 18, 2023.
  • Related bill listed: S 2682 (companion) — noted in the record.
