If passed, it will allow local health officers at “his other sole discretion” to “issue an emergency detention order causing a person or group of persons to be immediately detained for purposes of isolation or quarantine.”

I smell a fake news story designed to fan passionate flames of anger.
The January 9, 2022 article talks about a proposed piece of legislation. It even has a link.
That link is to an actual piece of legislation that has passed long ago. WAC 246-100-040. https://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=246-100-040
Now in looking at active bills being proposed, I found the following bill that has been proposed. https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2021-22/Htm/Bills/House%20Bills/1004.htm?q=20220110015543
The author and the article are talking about something that is already legislation and talking as if it was proposed legislation.
thank you, you beat me to it.
