OUT OF ORDER 03/01/2012
On page 2, line 11, after "identification," strike "including" and insert "which may include"
On page 2, line 14, after "address" strike "is guilty of a misdemeanor" and insert "may be found to have committed an infraction"
On page 2, after line 26, insert the following:
"Sec. 2 RCW 7.84.020 and 2003 c 39 s 3 are each amended to read
as follows:
((Unless the context clearly requires otherwise,)) The definition
in this section applies throughout this chapter unless the context
clearly requires otherwise.
"Infraction" means an offense which, by the terms of Title 76, 77,
79, or 79A RCW or ((chapter 43.30 RCW)) RCW 7.84.030(2)(b) and rules
adopted under these titles and ((chapters)) section, is declared not to
be a criminal offense and is subject to the provisions of this
chapter."
Renumber the remaining sections consecutively, correct any internal references accordingly, and correct the title.
EFFECT: Removes the new crime of failure to show identification to a peace officer involved in a natural resources infraction detainment and makes that failure to show identification into a civil infraction. Makes a driver's license one of the acceptable forms of identification (and not the only one).
