FINAL BILL REPORT

                  HB 1015

                         C 134 L 95

                     Synopsis as Enacted

Brief Description:  Correcting double amendments from the 1994 legislative sessions.

Sponsors:  Representatives Padden, Dellwo, Costa, Appelwick and Silver; by request of Statute Law Committee.

House Committee on Law & Justice

Senate Committee on Law & Justice

Background:  In a given legislative session, two or more bills may amend the same section of the Revised Code of Washington.  When this happens, and neither bill refers to or incorporates the changes from the other, a so-called "double" or "multiple" amendment occurs.

Most often, there is no substantive conflict between the multiple amendments to a section of the code.  In such instances the Code Reviser's Office may suggest corrective legislation in the next session of the Legislature.

Summary:  Various sections of the Revised Code of Washington are reenacted to merge multiple amendments made in the 1994 legislative session.
