The House Public Safety Committee voted 6-5 to recommend the bill on pot convictions be passed, and the Senate Health Care Committee approved the arrest-protection bill. The votes beat a deadline Friday for bills dealing with policy matters to be passed out of committee.

Joe Fitzgibbon of Burien told the House committee Wednesday that after Initiative 502 passed, allowing adults o...ver 21 to have up to an ounce of marijuana under state law, he started thinking about the thousands of people who have criminal records for activity that is now legal - criminal records that can keep people from getting jobs, housing or loans.
