Shelly Short, (R-Addy) (R) on February 10, 2009, recognizes that the recent Washington state supreme court decision in In re Parentage of C.A.M.A. reaffirmed that Washington's grandparent visitation statutes are unconstitutional. Declares an intent to bring the law in line with the court's holding in that case, in order to ensure that grandparents have a viable means of petitioning the court for visitation with their grandchildren.
