A look down on the state Senate chambers with one white man speaking. One man is looking at him. Another man and a woman are sitting at their desks and typing on keyboards. — Sen. Ron Muzzall, R-Oak Harbor, left, speaks on the floor of the Senate on Jan. 26, 2022, at the Capitol in Olympia.

Tuesday is a milestone day in the Legislature's 60-day session, and lawmakers are facing a key deadline. Policy-related bills must pass out of their house of origin — House or Senate — by 5 p.m.

Olympia correspondent Austin Jenkins joined KNKX Morning Edition host Kirsten Kendrick to talk about it.
