    Sec. 112.  RCW 9.41.090 and 1988 c 36 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) In addition to the other requirements of this chapter, no ((commercial seller shall)) dealer may deliver a pistol to the purchaser thereof until:

    (a) The purchaser produces a valid concealed pistol license and the ((commercial seller)) dealer has recorded the purchaser's name, license number, and issuing agency, such record to be made in triplicate and processed as provided in subsection (((4))) (5) of this section; ((or))

    (b) Once the system is established, a dealer shall use the national instant criminal background check system, provided for by the Brady Handgun Control Act (H.R. 1025, 103rd Cong., 1st Sess. (1993)), to make criminal background checks of applicants to purchase pistols.  However, a chief of police or sheriff, or a designee of either, shall continue to check the department of social and health services' electronic data base and with other agencies or resources as appropriate, to determine whether applicants are ineligible under RCW 9.41.040 to own, possess, or control a pistol.

    The application shall contain a warning substantially as follows:

 

CAUTION:  Although state and local laws do not differ, federal law and state law on the possession of firearms differ.  If you are prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm, you may be prosecuted in federal court.  State permission to purchase a firearm is not a defense to a federal prosecution.

 

The purchaser shall be given a copy of the department of fish and wildlife pamphlet on the legal limits of the use of firearms, firearms safety, and the fact that local laws and ordinances on firearms are preempted by state law and must be consistent with state law.

    (2)(a) Any county may make one or more contracts with one or more counties, the department, or both for the exchange or transfer of offenders pursuant to this compact.  Appropriate action by ordinance, resolution, or otherwise in accordance with the law of the governing bodies of the participating counties shall be necessary before the contract may take effect.  The secretary is authorized and requested to execute the contracts on behalf of the department.  Any such contract shall provide for:

    (i) Its duration;

    (ii) Payments to be made to the receiving jurisdiction by the sending jurisdiction for offender maintenance, extraordinary medical and dental expenses, and any participation in or receipt by offenders of rehabilitative or correctional services, facilities, programs, or treatment not reasonably included as part of normal maintenance;

    (3)(a) Whenever the duly constituted authorities of any compact jurisdiction decide that confinement in, or transfer of an offender to a facility of another compact jurisdiction is necessary or desirable in order to provide adequate housing and care or an appropriate program of rehabilitation or treatment, the officials may direct that the confinement be within a facility of the other compact jurisdiction, the receiving jurisdiction to act in that regard solely as agent for the sending jurisdiction.

    (b) The receiving jurisdiction shall be responsible for the supervision of all offenders which it accepts into its custody.

    (c) The receiving jurisdiction shall be responsible to establish screening criteria for offenders it will accept for transfer.  The sending jurisdiction shall be responsible for ensuring that all transferred offenders meet the screening criteria of the receiving jurisdiction.

    (d) The sending jurisdiction shall notify the sentencing courts of the name, charges, cause numbers, date, and place of transfer of any offender, prior to the transfer, on a form to be provided by the department.  A copy of this form shall accompany the offender at the time of transfer.

    (ii) Facility rules and disciplinary procedures;

    (iii) Medical care availability; and

    (iv) Visiting.

    (f) Delivery and retaking of inmates shall be the responsibility of the sending jurisdiction.  The sending jurisdiction shall deliver offenders to the facility of the receiving jurisdiction where the offender will be housed, at the dates and times specified by the receiving jurisdiction.  The receiving jurisdiction retains the right to refuse or return any offender.  The sending jurisdiction shall be responsible to retake any transferred offender who does not meet the screening criteria of the receiving jurisdiction, or who is refused by the receiving jurisdiction.  If the receiving jurisdiction has notified the sending jurisdiction to retake an offender, but the sending jurisdiction does not do so within a seven-day period, the receiving jurisdiction may return the offender to the sending jurisdiction at the expense of the sending jurisdiction.

    (g) Offenders confined in a facility under the terms of this compact shall at all times be subject to the jurisdiction of the sending jurisdiction and may at any time be removed from the facility for transfer to another facility within the sending jurisdiction, for transfer to another facility in which the sending jurisdiction may have a contractual or other right to confine offenders, for release or discharge, or for any other purpose permitted by the laws of the state of Washington.

    (h) Unless otherwise agreed, the sending jurisdiction shall provide at least one set of the offender's personal clothing at the time of transfer.  The sending jurisdiction shall be responsible for searching the clothing to ensure that it is free of contraband.  The receiving jurisdiction shall be responsible for providing work clothing and equipment appropriate to the offender's assignment.

    (i) The sending jurisdiction shall remain responsible for the storage of the offender's personal property, unless prior arrangements are made with the receiving jurisdiction.  The receiving jurisdiction shall provide a list of allowable items which may be transferred with the offender.

    (j) Copies or summaries of records relating to medical needs, behavior, and classification of the offender shall be transferred by the sending jurisdiction to the receiving jurisdiction at the time of transfer.  At a minimum, such records shall include:

    (i) A copy of the commitment order or orders legally authorizing the confinement of the offender;

    (ii) A copy of the form for the notification of the sentencing courts required by subsection (3)(d) of this section;

    (iii) A brief summary of any known criminal history, medical needs, behavioral problems, and other information which may be relevant to the classification of the offender; and

    (iv) A standard identification card which includes the fingerprints and at least one photograph of the offender.

Disclosure of public records shall be the responsibility of the sending jurisdiction, except for those documents generated by the receiving jurisdiction.

    (k) The receiving jurisdiction shall be responsible for providing regular medical care, including prescription medication, but extraordinary medical expenses shall be the responsibility of the sending jurisdiction.  The costs of extraordinary medical care incurred by the receiving jurisdiction for transferred offenders shall be reimbursed by the sending jurisdiction.  The receiving jurisdiction shall notify the sending jurisdiction as far in advance as practicable prior to incurring such costs.  In the event emergency medical care is needed, the sending jurisdiction shall be advised as soon as practicable after the offender is treated.  Offenders who are required by the medical authority of the sending jurisdiction to take prescription medication at the time of the transfer shall have at least a three-day supply of the medication transferred to the receiving jurisdiction with the offender, and at the expense of the sending jurisdiction.  Costs of prescription medication incurred after the use of the supply shall be borne by the receiving jurisdiction.

    (l) Convicted offenders transferred under this agreement may be required by the receiving jurisdiction to work.  Transferred offenders participating in programs of offender employment shall receive the same reimbursement, if any, as other offenders performing similar work.  The receiving jurisdiction shall be responsible for the disposition or crediting of any payments received by offenders, and for crediting the proceeds from or disposal of any products resulting from the employment.  Other programs normally provided to offenders by the receiving jurisdiction such as education, mental health, or substance abuse treatment shall also be available to transferred offenders, provided that usual program screening criteria are met.  No special or additional programs will be provided except by mutual agreement of the sending and receiving jurisdiction, with additional expenses, if any, to be borne by the sending jurisdiction.

    (m) The receiving jurisdiction shall notify offenders upon arrival of the rules of the jurisdiction and the specific rules of the facility.  Offenders will be required to follow all rules of the receiving jurisdiction.  Disciplinary detention, if necessary, shall be provided at the discretion of the receiving jurisdiction.  The receiving jurisdiction may require the sending jurisdiction to retake any offender found guilty of a serious infraction; similarly, the receiving jurisdiction may require the sending jurisdiction to retake any offender whose behavior requires segregated or protective housing.

    (n) Good-time calculations and notification of each offender's release date shall be the responsibility of the sending jurisdiction.  The sending jurisdiction shall provide the receiving jurisdiction with a formal notice of the date upon which each offender is to be released from custody.  If the receiving jurisdiction finds an offender guilty of a violation of its disciplinary rules, it shall notify the sending jurisdiction of the date and nature of the violation.  If the sending jurisdiction resets the release date according to its good-time policies, it shall provide the receiving jurisdiction with notice of the new release date.

    (o) The sending jurisdiction shall retake the offender at the receiving jurisdiction's facility on or before his or her release date, unless the sending and receiving jurisdictions shall agree upon release in some other place.  The sending jurisdiction shall bear the transportation costs of the return.

    (p) Each receiving jurisdiction shall provide monthly reports to each sending jurisdiction on the number of offenders of that sending jurisdiction in its facilities pursuant to this compact.

    (q) Each party jurisdiction shall notify the others of its coordinator who is responsible for administrating the jurisdiction's responsibilities under the compact.  The coordinators shall arrange for alternate contact persons in the event of an extended absence of the coordinator.

    (r) Upon reasonable notice, representatives of any party to this compact shall be allowed to visit any facility in which another party has agreed to house its offenders, for the purpose of inspecting the facilities and visiting its offenders that may be confined in the institution.

    (4) This compact shall enter into force and become effective and binding upon the participating parties when it has been executed by two or more parties.  Upon request, each party county shall provide any other compact jurisdiction with a copy of a duly enacted resolution or ordinance authorizing entry into this compact.

    (5) A party participating may withdraw from the compact by formal resolution and by written notice to all other parties then participating.  The withdrawal shall become effective, as it pertains to the party wishing to withdraw, thirty days after written notice to the other parties.  However, such withdrawal shall not relieve the withdrawing party from its obligations assumed prior to the effective date of withdrawal.  Before the effective date of withdrawal, a withdrawing participant shall notify the other parties to retake the offenders it has housed in its facilities and shall remove to its facilities, at its own expense, offenders it has confined under the provisions of this compact.

    (6) Legal costs relating to defending actions brought by an offender challenging his or her transfer to another jurisdiction under this compact shall be borne by the sending jurisdiction.  Legal costs relating to defending actions arising from events which occur while the offender is in the custody of a receiving jurisdiction shall be borne by the receiving jurisdiction.

    (7) The receiving jurisdiction shall not be responsible to provide legal services to offenders placed under this agreement.  Requests for legal services shall be referred to the sending jurisdiction.

    (8) The provisions of this compact shall be liberally construed and shall be severable.  If any phrase, clause, sentence, or provision of this compact is declared to be contrary to the Constitution or laws of the state of Washington or is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this compact and its applicability to any county or the department shall not be affected.

    (9) Nothing contained in this compact shall be construed to abrogate or impair any agreement or other arrangement which a county or the department may have with each other or with a nonparty county for the confinement, rehabilitation, or treatment of offenders.
