    (8) The attorney general or county prosecuting attorney may, in a civil action brought pursuant to this section, file with the clerk of the superior court a certificate stating that the case is of special public importance.  A copy of that certificate shall be furnished immediately by the clerk to the presiding chief judge of the superior court in which the action is pending and, upon receipt of the copy, the judge shall immediately designate a judge to hear and determine the action.  The judge so designated shall promptly assign the action for hearing, participate in the hearings and determination, and cause the action to be expedited.

    (9) The standard of proof in actions brought pursuant to this section is the preponderance of the evidence test.

    (10) A person other than the attorney general or county prosecuting attorney who files an action under this section shall serve notice and one copy of the pleading on the attorney general within thirty days after the action is filed with the superior court.  The notice shall identify the action, the person, and the person's attorney.  Service of the notice does not limit or otherwise affect the right of the state to maintain an action under this section or intervene in a pending action nor does it authorize the person to name the state or the attorney general as a party to the action.

    (11) Except in cases filed by a county prosecuting attorney, the attorney general may, upon timely application, intervene in any civil action or proceeding brought under this section if the attorney general certifies that in the attorney general's opinion the action is of special public importance.  Upon intervention, the attorney general may assert any available claim and is entitled to the same relief as if the attorney general had instituted a separate action.

    (12) In addition to the attorney general's right to intervene as a party in any action under this section, the attorney general may appear as amicus curiae in any proceeding in which a claim under this section has been asserted or in which a court is interpreting RCW 9A.82.010, 9A.82.080, 9A.82.090, 9A.82.110, or 9A.82.120, or this section.

    (13) A private civil action under this section does not limit any other civil or criminal action under this chapter or any other provision.  Private civil remedies provided under this section are supplemental and not mutually exclusive.

    (14) Upon motion by the defendant, the court may authorize the sale or transfer of assets subject to an order or lien authorized by this chapter for the purpose of paying actual attorney's fees and costs of defense.  The motion shall specify the assets for which sale or transfer is sought and shall be accompanied by the defendant's sworn statement that the defendant has no other assets available for such purposes.  No order authorizing such sale or transfer may be entered unless the court finds that the assets involved are not subject to possible forfeiture under RCW 9A.82.100(4)(f).  Prior to disposition of the motion, the court shall notify the state of the assets sought to be sold or transferred and shall hear argument on the issue of whether the assets are subject to forfeiture under RCW 9A.82.100(4)(f).  Such a motion may be made from time to time and shall be heard by the court on an expedited basis.

    (15) In an action brought under subsection (1)(a) and (b)(i) of this section, either party has the right to a jury trial.

 

    Sec. 12.  RCW 9A.82.120 and 2001 c 222 s 16 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) The state, upon filing a criminal action under RCW 9A.82.060 or 9A.82.080 or for an offense defined in chapter 9A.‑- RCW (sections 1 through 8 and 19 through 25 of this act) whether or not committed for financial gain, or a civil action under RCW 9A.82.100, may file in accordance with this section a criminal profiteering lien.  A filing fee or other charge is not required for filing a criminal profiteering lien.

    (2) A criminal profiteering lien shall be signed by the attorney general or the county prosecuting attorney representing the state in the action and shall set forth the following information:

    (a) The name of the defendant whose property or other interests are to be subject to the lien;

    (b) In the discretion of the attorney general or county prosecuting attorney filing the lien, any aliases or fictitious names of the defendant named in the lien;

    (c) If known to the attorney general or county prosecuting attorney filing the lien, the present residence or principal place of business of the person named in the lien;

    (d) A reference to the proceeding pursuant to which the lien is filed, including the name of the court, the title of the action, and the court's file number for the proceeding;

    (e) The name and address of the attorney representing the state in the proceeding pursuant to which the lien is filed;

    (f) A statement that the notice is being filed pursuant to this section;

    (g) The amount that the state claims in the action or, with respect to property or other interests that the state has requested forfeiture to the state or county, a description of the property or interests sought to be paid or forfeited;

    (h) If known to the attorney general or county prosecuting attorney filing the lien, a description of property that is subject to forfeiture to the state or property in which the defendant has an interest that is available to satisfy a judgment entered in favor of the state; and

    (i) Such other information as the attorney general or county prosecuting attorney filing the lien deems appropriate.

    (3) The attorney general or the county prosecuting attorney filing the lien may amend a lien filed under this section at any time by filing an amended criminal profiteering lien in accordance with this section that identifies the prior lien amended.

    (4) The attorney general or the county prosecuting attorney filing the lien shall, as soon as practical after filing a criminal profiteering lien, furnish to any person named in the lien a notice of the filing of the lien.  Failure to furnish notice under this subsection does not invalidate or otherwise affect a criminal profiteering lien filed in accordance with this section.

    (5)(a) A criminal profiteering lien is perfected against interests in personal property in the same manner as a security interest in like property pursuant to RCW 62A.9-302, 62A.9-303, 62A.9-304, 62A.9-305, and 62A.9-306 or as otherwise required to perfect a security interest in like property under applicable law.  In the case of perfection by filing, the state shall file, in lieu of a financing statement in the form prescribed by RCW 62A.9-402, a notice of lien in substantially the following form:

 

                          NOTICE OF LIEN

 

    Pursuant to RCW 9A.82.120, the state of Washington claims a criminal profiteering lien on all real and personal property of:

 

    Name:

                 . . . . . . . . . . .

    Address:

                 . . . . . . . . . . .

                 . . . . . . . . . . .

 

                              State of Washington

                              ...................................

                              By (authorized signature)

 

    On receipt of such a notice from the state, a filing officer shall, without payment of filing fee, file and index the notice as if it were a financing statement naming the state as secured party and the defendant as debtor.

    (b) A criminal profiteering lien is perfected against interests in real property by filing the lien in the office where a mortgage on the real estate would be filed or recorded.  The filing officer shall file and index the criminal profiteering lien, without payment of a filing fee, in the same manner as a mortgage.

    (6) The filing of a criminal profiteering lien in accordance with this section creates a lien in favor of the state in:

    (a) Any interest of the defendant, in real property situated in the county in which the lien is filed, then maintained, or thereafter acquired in the name of the defendant identified in the lien;

    (b) Any interest of the defendant, in personal property situated in this state, then maintained or thereafter acquired in the name of the defendant identified in the lien; and

    (c) Any property identified in the lien to the extent of the defendant's interest therein.

    (7) The lien created in favor of the state in accordance with this section, when filed or otherwise perfected as provided in subsection (5) of this section, has, with respect to any of the property described in subsection (6) of this section, the same priority determined pursuant to the laws of this state as a mortgage or security interest given for value (but not a purchase money security interest) and perfected in the same manner with respect to such property; except that any lien perfected pursuant to Title 60 RCW by any person who, in the ordinary course of his business, furnishes labor, services, or materials, or rents, leases, or otherwise supplies equipment, without knowledge of the criminal profiteering lien, is superior to the criminal profiteering lien.

    (8) Upon entry of judgment in favor of the state, the state may proceed to execute thereon as in the case of any other judgment, except that in order to preserve the state's lien priority as provided in this section the state shall, in addition to such other notice as is required by law, give at least thirty days' notice of the execution to any person possessing at the time the notice is given, an interest recorded subsequent to the date the state's lien was perfected.

    (9) Upon the entry of a final judgment in favor of the state providing for forfeiture of property to the state, the title of the state to the property:

    (a) In the case of real property or a beneficial interest in real property, relates back to the date of filing the criminal profiteering lien or, if no criminal profiteering lien is filed, then to the date of recording of the final judgment or the abstract thereof; or

    (b) In the case of personal property or a beneficial interest in personal property, relates back to the date the personal property was seized by the state, or the date of filing of a criminal profiteering lien in accordance with this section, whichever is earlier, but if the property was not seized and no criminal profiteering lien was filed then to the date the final judgment was filed with the department of licensing and, if the personal property is an aircraft, with the federal aviation administration.

    (10) This section does not limit the right of the state to obtain any order or injunction, receivership, writ, attachment, garnishment, or other remedy authorized under RCW 9A.82.100 or appropriate to protect the interests of the state or available under other applicable law.

    (11) In a civil or criminal action under this chapter, the superior court shall provide for the protection of bona fide interests in property, including community property, subject to liens of persons who were not involved in the violation of this chapter, except to the extent that such interests or property were acquired or used in such a way as to be subject to forfeiture pursuant to RCW 9A.82.100(4)(f).

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 13.  A new section is added to chapter 10.95 RCW to read as follows:

    AGGRAVATED FIRST DEGREE MURDER‑-DEFINITION‑-ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF COMMISSION‑-TERRORISM IN THE FIRST DEGREE.  A person is guilty of aggravated murder in the first degree if he or she commits terrorism in the first degree as defined by section 3 of this act and shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

 

    Sec. 14.  RCW 10.95.040 and 1981 c 138 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) If a person is charged with aggravated first degree murder as defined by RCW 10.95.020 or section 13 of this act, the prosecuting attorney shall file written notice of a special sentencing proceeding to determine whether or not the death penalty should be imposed when there is reason to believe that there are not sufficient mitigating circumstances to merit leniency.

    (2) The notice of special sentencing proceeding shall be filed and served on the defendant or the defendant's attorney within thirty days after the defendant's arraignment upon the charge of aggravated first degree murder unless the court, for good cause shown, extends or reopens the period for filing and service of the notice.  Except with the consent of the prosecuting attorney, during the period in which the prosecuting attorney may file the notice of special sentencing proceeding, the defendant may not tender a plea of guilty to the charge of aggravated first degree murder nor may the court accept a plea of guilty to the charge of aggravated first degree murder or any lesser included offense.

    (3) If a notice of special sentencing proceeding is not filed and served as provided in this section, the prosecuting attorney may not request the death penalty.

 

    Sec. 15.  RCW 9.94A.515 and 2001 2nd sp.s. c 12 s 361, 2001 c 300 s 4, 2001 c 217 s 12, and 2001 c 17 s 1 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

                      PRIOR ADJUDICATIONS

 

NOTE:  References in the grid to days or weeks mean periods of confinement.

    (1) The vertical axis of the grid is the current offense category.  The current offense category is determined by the offense of adjudication.

    (2) The horizontal axis of the grid is the number of prior adjudications included in the juvenile's criminal history.  Each prior felony adjudication shall count as one point.  Each prior violation, misdemeanor, and gross misdemeanor adjudication shall count as 1/4 point.  Fractional points shall be rounded down.

    (3) The standard range disposition for each offense is determined by the intersection of the column defined by the prior adjudications and the row defined by the current offense category.

    (4) RCW 13.40.180 applies if the offender is being sentenced for more than one offense.

    (5) A current offense that is a violation is equivalent to an offense category of E.  However, a disposition for a violation shall not include confinement.

 

                                OR

 

                             OPTION B

            CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY DISPOSITION ALTERNATIVE

 

    If the juvenile offender is subject to a standard range disposition of local sanctions or 15 to 36 weeks of confinement and has not committed an A- or B+ offense, the court may impose a disposition under RCW 13.40.160(4) and 13.40.165.

 

                                OR

 

                             OPTION C

                        MANIFEST INJUSTICE

 

If the court determines that a disposition under option A or B would effectuate a manifest injustice, the court shall impose a disposition outside the standard range under RCW 13.40.160(2).

 

    Sec. 17.  RCW 9.94A.030 and 2001 2nd sp.s. c 12 s 301, 2001 c 300 s 3, and 2001 c 7 s 2 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

    Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter.

    (1) "Board" means the indeterminate sentence review board created under chapter 9.95 RCW.

    (2) "Collect," or any derivative thereof, "collect and remit," or "collect and deliver," when used with reference to the department, means that the department, either directly or through a collection agreement authorized by RCW 9.94A.760, is responsible for monitoring and enforcing the offender's sentence with regard to the legal financial obligation, receiving payment thereof from the offender, and, consistent with current law, delivering daily the entire payment to the superior court clerk without depositing it in a departmental account.

    (3) "Commission" means the sentencing guidelines commission.

    (4) "Community corrections officer" means an employee of the department who is responsible for carrying out specific duties in supervision of sentenced offenders and monitoring of sentence conditions.

    (5) "Community custody" means that portion of an offender's sentence of confinement in lieu of earned release time or imposed pursuant to RCW 9.94A.505(2)(b), 9.94A.650 through 9.94A.670, 9.94A.690, 9.94A.700 through 9.94A.715, or 9.94A.545, served in the community subject to controls placed on the offender's movement and activities by the department.  For offenders placed on community custody for crimes committed on or after July 1, 2000, the department shall assess the offender's risk of reoffense and may establish and modify conditions of community custody, in addition to those imposed by the court, based upon the risk to community safety.

    (6) "Community custody range" means the minimum and maximum period of community custody included as part of a sentence under RCW 9.94A.715, as established by the commission or the legislature under RCW 9.94A.850, for crimes committed on or after July 1, 2000.

    (7) "Community placement" means that period during which the offender is subject to the conditions of community custody and/or postrelease supervision, which begins either upon completion of the term of confinement (postrelease supervision) or at such time as the offender is transferred to community custody in lieu of earned release.  Community placement may consist of entirely community custody, entirely postrelease supervision, or a combination of the two.

    (8) "Community service" means compulsory service, without compensation, performed for the benefit of the community by the offender.

    (9) "Community supervision" means a period of time during which a convicted offender is subject to crime-related prohibitions and other sentence conditions imposed by a court pursuant to this chapter or RCW 16.52.200(6) or 46.61.524.  Where the court finds that any offender has a chemical dependency that has contributed to his or her offense, the conditions of supervision may, subject to available resources, include treatment.  For purposes of the interstate compact for out-of-state supervision of parolees and probationers, RCW 9.95.270, community supervision is the functional equivalent of probation and should be considered the same as probation by other states.

    (10) "Confinement" means total or partial confinement.

    (11) "Conviction" means an adjudication of guilt pursuant to Titles 10 or 13 RCW and includes a verdict of guilty, a finding of guilty, and acceptance of a plea of guilty.

    (12) "Crime-related prohibition" means an order of a court prohibiting conduct that directly relates to the circumstances of the crime for which the offender has been convicted, and shall not be construed to mean orders directing an offender affirmatively to participate in rehabilitative programs or to otherwise perform affirmative conduct.  However, affirmative acts necessary to monitor compliance with the order of a court may be required by the department.

    (13) "Criminal history" means the list of a defendant's prior convictions and juvenile adjudications, whether in this state, in federal court, or elsewhere.  The history shall include, where known, for each conviction (a) whether the defendant has been placed on probation and the length and terms thereof; and (b) whether the defendant has been incarcerated and the length of incarceration.

    (14) "Day fine" means a fine imposed by the sentencing court that equals the difference between the offender's net daily income and the reasonable obligations that the offender has for the support of the offender and any dependents.

    (15) "Day reporting" means a program of enhanced supervision designed to monitor the offender's daily activities and compliance with sentence conditions, and in which the offender is required to report daily to a specific location designated by the department or the sentencing court.

    (16) "Department" means the department of corrections.

    (17) "Determinate sentence" means a sentence that states with exactitude the number of actual years, months, or days of total confinement, of partial confinement, of community supervision, the number of actual hours or days of community service work, or dollars or terms of a legal financial obligation.  The fact that an offender through earned release can reduce the actual period of confinement shall not affect the classification of the sentence as a determinate sentence.

    (18) "Disposable earnings" means that part of the earnings of an offender remaining after the deduction from those earnings of any amount required by law to be withheld.  For the purposes of this definition, "earnings" means compensation paid or payable for personal services, whether denominated as wages, salary, commission, bonuses, or otherwise, and, notwithstanding any other provision of law making the payments exempt from garnishment, attachment, or other process to satisfy a court-ordered legal financial obligation, specifically includes periodic payments pursuant to pension or retirement programs, or insurance policies of any type, but does not include payments made under Title 50 RCW, except as provided in RCW 50.40.020 and 50.40.050, or Title 74 RCW.

    (19) "Drug offender sentencing alternative" is a sentencing option available to persons convicted of a felony offense other than a violent offense or a sex offense and who are eligible for the option under RCW 9.94A.660.

    (20) "Drug offense" means:

    (a) Any felony violation of chapter 69.50 RCW except possession of a controlled substance (RCW 69.50.401(d)) or forged prescription for a controlled substance (RCW 69.50.403);

    (b) Any offense defined as a felony under federal law that relates to the possession, manufacture, distribution, or transportation of a controlled substance; or

    (c) Any out-of-state conviction for an offense that under the laws of this state would be a felony classified as a drug offense under (a) of this subsection.

    (21) "Earned release" means earned release from confinement as provided in RCW 9.94A.728.

    The court, upon the filing of a motion, may make available to any such person or party or his or her counsel for inspection such portions of the intercepted communications and orders as the court determines to be in the interest of justice.  On an ex parte showing of good cause to the court, the serving of the inventory required by this subsection may be postponed.

    (9) The contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication intercepted pursuant to this section or evidence derived from such contents shall not be received in evidence or otherwise disclosed in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding in a court of this state unless each party, not less than ten days before the trial, hearing, or proceeding, has been furnished with a copy of the court order, and accompanying application, under which the interception was authorized.  This ten-day period may be waived by the court upon a finding that it was not possible to furnish the party with the order and application ten days before the trial, hearing, or proceeding and that the party will not be prejudiced by the delay in receiving such information.

    (10)(a) An aggrieved person in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding in or before any court, administrative law judge, hearing officer or examiner, department, officer, agency, board, regulatory body, legislative committee, or other similar authority of this state or any political subdivision of this state may move to suppress the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication intercepted pursuant to this section, or evidence derived from such contents, on the grounds that (i) the communication was unlawfully intercepted; (ii) the order of authorization under which it was intercepted is insufficient on its face; or (iii) the interception was not made in conformity with the order of authorization.

    Such a motion shall be made before the trial, hearing, or proceeding unless there was no opportunity to make the motion or the person was not aware of the grounds of the motion.  If the motion is granted, the contents of the intercepted wire, oral, or electronic communication, or evidence derived from such contents, shall be treated as having been obtained in violation of this section.  The court or person presiding, upon the filing of such a motion by the aggrieved person, may make available to the aggrieved person or his or her counsel for inspection such portions of the intercepted communication or derivative evidence as the court or person presiding determines to be in the interest of justice.

    (b) In addition to any other right to appeal, the state or other proponent of evidence that is suppressed has the right to appeal from an order granting a motion to suppress made under (a) of this subsection, if the attorney for the state or other proponent certifies to the court or other official granting the motion that the appeal is not taken for purposes of delay.  Such an appeal shall be taken within thirty days after the date the order was entered and shall be diligently prosecuted.

    (11) The requirements of (1)(b)(ii) and (3)(d) of this section relating to the specification of the facilities from which, or the place where, a communication is to be intercepted do not apply if:

    (a) In the case of an application with respect to the interception of an oral communication:

    (i) The application is by an investigative or law enforcement officer and is approved by the attorney general, a prosecuting attorney, or other attorney authorized to provide such approval under section 27 of this act;

    (ii) The application contains a full and complete statement as to why such specification is not practical and identifies the person believed to be committing the offense and whose communications are to be intercepted; and

    (iii) The court finds that such specification is not practical; and

    (b) In the case of an application with respect to a wire or electronic communication:

    (i) The application is by an investigative or law enforcement officer and is approved by the attorney general, a prosecuting attorney, or other attorney authorized to provide such approval under section 27 of this act;

    (ii) The application identifies the person believed to be committing the offense and whose communications are to be intercepted and the applicant makes a showing that there is probable cause to believe that the person's actions could have the effect of thwarting interception from a specified facility;

    (iii) The court finds that such showing has been adequately made; and

    (iv) The order authorizing the interception is limited to interception only for such time as it is reasonable to presume that the person identified in the application is reasonably proximate to the instrument through which such communication will be transmitted.

    (12) An interception of a communication under an order with respect to which the requirements of (1)(b)(ii) and (3)(d) of this section do not apply by reason of subsection (11)(a) of this section shall not begin until the facilities from which, or the place where, the communication is to be intercepted is ascertained by the person implementing the interception order.  A provider of wire or electronic communication service that has received an order as provided for in subsection (11)(b) of this section may move the court to modify or quash the order on the ground that its assistance with respect to the interception cannot be performed in a timely or reasonable fashion.  The court, upon notice to the government, shall decide such a motion expeditiously.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 29.  A new section is added to chapter 9.73 RCW to read as follows:

    (1) As part of a bona fide criminal investigation, the chief law enforcement officer of a law enforcement agency or his or her designee above the rank of first line supervisor may authorize the interception, transmission, or recording of a conversation or communication by officers under the following circumstances:

    (a) At least one party to the conversation or communication has consented to the interception, transmission, or recording;

    (b) Probable cause exists to believe that the conversation or communication involves an act of terrorism; and

    (c) A written report has been completed as required by subsection (2) of this section.

    (2) The agency's chief officer or designee authorizing an interception, transmission, or recording under subsection (1) of this section shall prepare and sign a written report at the time of authorization indicating:

    (a) The circumstances that meet the requirements of subsection (1) of this section;

    (b) The names of the authorizing and consenting parties, except that in those cases where the consenting party is a confidential informant, the name of the confidential informant need not be divulged;

    (c) The names of the officers authorized to intercept, transmit, and record the conversation or communication;

    (d) The identity of the particular person or persons, if known, who may have committed or may commit the offense;

    (e) The details of the particular offense or offenses that may have been or may be committed and the expected date, location, and approximate time of the conversation or communication; and

    (f) Whether there was an attempt to obtain authorization pursuant to RCW 9.73.090(2) and, if there was such an attempt, the outcome of the attempt.

    (3) An authorization under this section is valid in all jurisdictions within Washington state and for the interception of communications from additional persons if the persons are brought into the conversation or transaction by the nonconsenting party or if the nonconsenting party or such additional persons cause or invite the consenting party to enter another jurisdiction.

    (4) The recording of any conversation or communication under this section shall be done in such a manner that protects the recording from editing or other alterations.

    (5) An authorization made under this section is valid for no more than twenty-four hours from the time it is signed by the authorizing officer, and each authorization shall independently meet all of the requirements of this section.  The authorizing officer shall sign the written report required under subsection (2) of this section, certifying the exact date and time of his or her signature.  An authorization under this section may be extended not more than twice for an additional consecutive twenty-four hour period based upon the same probable cause regarding the same suspected transaction.  Each such extension shall be signed by the authorizing officer.

    (6) Within fifteen days after the signing of an authorization that results in any interception, transmission, or recording of a conversation or communication pursuant to this section, the law enforcement agency which made the interception, transmission, or recording shall submit a report including the original authorization under subsection (2) of this section to a judge of a court having jurisdiction which report shall identify (a) the persons, including the consenting party, who participated in the conversation, and (b) the date, location, and approximate time of the conversation.

    In those cases where the consenting party is a confidential informant, the name of the confidential informant need not be divulged.

    A monthly report shall be filed by the law enforcement agency with the administrator for the courts indicating the number of authorizations granted, the date and time of each authorization, interceptions made, arrests resulting from an interception, and subsequent invalidations.

    (7)(a) Within two judicial days of receipt of a report under subsection (6) of this section, the court shall make an ex parte review of the authorization, but not of the evidence, and shall make a determination whether the requirements of subsection (1) of this section were met.  If the court determines that any of the requirements of subsection (1) of this section were not met, the court shall order that any recording and any copies or transcriptions of the conversation or communication be destroyed.  Destruction of recordings, copies, or transcriptions shall be stayed pending any appeal of a finding that the requirements of subsection (1) of this section were not met.

    (b) Absent a continuation under (c) of this subsection, six months following a determination under (a) of this subsection that probable cause did not exist, the court shall cause a notice to be mailed to the last known address of any nonconsenting party to the conversation or communication that was the subject of the authorization.  The notice shall indicate the date, time, and place of any interception, transmission, or recording made pursuant to the authorization.  The notice shall also identify the agency that sought the authorization and shall indicate that a review under (a) of this subsection resulted in a determination that the authorization was made in violation of this section.

    (c) An authorizing agency may obtain six-month extensions to the notice requirement of (b) of this subsection in cases of active, ongoing criminal investigations that might be jeopardized by sending the notice.

    (8) In any subsequent judicial proceeding, evidence obtained through the interception or recording of a conversation or communication pursuant to this section shall be admissible only if:

    (a) The court finds that the requirements of subsection (1) of this section were met and the evidence is used in prosecuting an offense identified in subsection (1)(b) of this section, or the evidence is used in accordance with section 31 of this act; or

    (b) The evidence is admitted with the permission of the person whose communication or conversation was intercepted, transmitted, or recorded; or

    (c) The evidence is admitted in a prosecution for a serious violent offense as defined in RCW 9.94A.030 in which a party who consented to the interception, transmission, or recording was a victim of the offense; or

    (d) The evidence is admitted in a civil suit for personal injury or wrongful death arising out of the same incident, in which a party who consented to the interception, transmission, or recording was a victim of a serious violent offense as defined in RCW 9.94A.030.

    Nothing in this subsection bars the admission of testimony of a party or eyewitness to the intercepted, transmitted, or recorded conversation or communication when that testimony is unaided by information obtained solely by violation of RCW 9.73.030.

    (9) Any determination of invalidity of an authorization under this section shall be reported by the court to the office of the administrator for the courts.

    (10) Any person who intentionally intercepts, transmits, or records or who intentionally authorizes the interception, transmission, or recording of a conversation or communication in violation of this section is guilty of a class C felony punishable according to chapter 9A.20 RCW.

    (11) An authorizing agency is liable for twenty-five thousand dollars in exemplary damages, in addition to any other damages authorized by this chapter or by other law, to a person whose conversation or communication was intercepted, transmitted, or recorded pursuant to an authorization under this section if:

    (a) In a review under subsection (7) of this section, or in a suppression of evidence proceeding, it has been determined that the authorization was made without the probable cause required by subsection (1)(b) of this section; and

    (b) The authorization was also made without a reasonable suspicion that the conversation or communication would involve the unlawful acts identified in subsection (1)(b) of this section.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 30.  A new section is added to chapter 9.73 RCW to read as follows:

    (1) This section applies to pen registers and traps and traces as defined in section 32 of this act when used to obtain information regarding an act of terrorism.

    (2) An investigative or law enforcement officer may seek and the superior court may issue orders and extensions of orders authorizing the installation or application and use of pen registers and traps and traces as provided in this section.  The request for an order shall be under oath and shall include the identity of the officer seeking the order and the identity of the law enforcement agency conducting the investigation.  The officer must certify that the information likely to be obtained is relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation of terrorism being conducted by that agency.

    (3) If the court finds that the information likely to be obtained by such installation or application and use is relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation of terrorism and finds that there is probable cause to believe that the pen register or trap and trace will lead to obtaining evidence of terrorism, contraband, fruits of crime, things criminally possessed, weapons, or other things by means of which an act of terrorism has been committed or reasonably appears about to be committed, or will lead to learning the location of a person who is unlawfully restrained or reasonably believed to be a witness in an investigation of such an act or for whose arrest there is probable cause, the court shall enter an ex parte order authorizing the installation or application and use of a pen register or a trap and trace.  The order shall specify:

    (a) The identity, if known, of the person to whom is leased or in whose name is listed the telephone line or other instrument or facility to which the pen register or trap and trace is to be attached or applied;

    (b) The identity, if known, of the person who is the subject of the criminal investigation;

    (c) The attributes of the communications to which the order applies, including the number or other identifier and, if known, the location of the telephone line or other instrument or facility to which the pen register or trap and trace is to be attached or applied, and, in the case of a trap and trace, the geographic limits of the trap and trace; and

    (d) A statement of the act of terrorism to which the information likely to be obtained by the pen register or trap and trace relates.

    The order shall direct, if the applicant has requested, the furnishing of information, facilities, and technical assistance necessary to accomplish the installation of the pen register or trap and trace.  An order issued under this section shall authorize the installation or application and use of a pen register or a trap and trace for a period not to exceed sixty days.  An extension of the original order may only be granted upon:  A new request for an order under subsection (2) of this section; and a showing that there is a probability that the information or items sought under this subsection are more likely to be obtained under the extension than under the original order.  No extension beyond the first extension shall be granted unless:  There is a showing that there is a high probability that the information or items sought under this subsection are much more likely to be obtained under the second or subsequent extension than under the original order; and there are extraordinary circumstances such as a direct and immediate danger of death or serious bodily injury to a law enforcement officer.  The period of extension shall be for a period not to exceed sixty days.

    An order authorizing or approving the installation or application and use of a pen register or a trap and trace shall direct that the order be sealed until otherwise ordered by the court and that the person owning or leasing the line or other facility to which the pen register or trap and trace is attached or applied, or who has been ordered by the court to provide assistance to the applicant, not disclose the existence of the pen register or trap and trace or the existence of the investigation to the listed subscriber or to any other person, unless or until otherwise ordered by the court.

    (4) Upon the presentation of an order, entered under subsection (3) of this section, by an officer of a law enforcement agency authorized to install or apply and use a pen register under this chapter, a provider of wire or electronic communication service, landlord, custodian, or other person shall furnish such law enforcement officer forthwith all information, facilities, and technical assistance necessary to accomplish the installation or application of the pen register unobtrusively and with a minimum of interference with the services that the person so ordered by the court accords the party with respect to whom the installation or application and use is to take place, if such assistance is directed by a court order as provided in subsection (3) of this section.

    Upon the request of an officer of a law enforcement agency authorized to receive the results of a trap and trace under this chapter, a provider of a wire or electronic communication service, landlord, custodian, or other person shall install or apply the trap and trace forthwith on the appropriate line or other facility and shall furnish such law enforcement officer all additional information, facilities, and technical assistance including installation or application and operation of the device unobtrusively and with a minimum of interference with the services that the person so ordered by the court accords the party with respect to whom the installation or application and use is to take place, if such installation or application and assistance is directed by a court order as provided in subsection (3) of this section.  Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the results of the trap and trace shall be furnished to the officer of a law enforcement agency, designated in the court order, at reasonable intervals during regular business hours for the duration of the order.

    A provider of a wire or electronic communication service, landlord, custodian, or other person who furnishes facilities or technical assistance pursuant to this subsection shall be reasonably compensated by the law enforcement agency that requests the facilities or assistance for such reasonable expenses incurred in providing such facilities and assistance.

    No cause of action shall lie in any court against any provider of a wire or electronic communication service, its officers, employees, agents, or other specified persons for providing information, facilities, or assistance in accordance with the terms of a court order under this section.  A good faith reliance on a court order under this section, a request pursuant to this section, a legislative authorization, or a statutory authorization is a complete defense against any civil or criminal action brought under this chapter or any other law.

    (5)(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a law enforcement officer and a prosecuting attorney or deputy prosecuting attorney who jointly and reasonably determine that there is probable cause to believe that an emergency situation exists that involves immediate danger of death or serious bodily injury to any person that requires the installation or application and use of a pen register or a trap and trace before an order authorizing such installation or application and use can, with due diligence, be obtained, and there are grounds upon which an order could be entered under this chapter to authorize such installation or application and use, may have installed or applied and use a pen register or trap and trace if, within forty-eight hours after the installation or application has occurred, or begins to occur, an order approving the installation or application or use is sought and issued in accordance with subsection (3) of this section.  In the absence of an authorizing order, such use shall immediately terminate when the information sought is obtained, when the request for the order is denied, or when forty-eight hours have lapsed since the installation or application of the pen register or trap and trace, whichever is earlier.  If an order approving the installation, application, or use is not obtained within forty-eight hours, any information obtained is not admissible as evidence in any legal proceeding.  The knowing installation, application, or use by any law enforcement officer of a pen register or trap and trace pursuant to this subsection without seeking the authorizing order within forty-eight hours of the installation or application of the pen register or trap and trace shall constitute a violation of this chapter and be punishable as a gross misdemeanor.  A provider of a wire or electronic communication service, landlord, custodian, or other person who furnished facilities or technical assistance pursuant to this subsection shall be reasonably compensated by the law enforcement agency that requests the facilities or assistance for such reasonable expenses incurred in providing such facilities and assistance.

    (b) A law enforcement agency that authorizes the installation or application of a pen register or trap and trace under this subsection (5) shall file a monthly report with the administrator for the courts.  The report shall indicate the number of authorizations made, the date and time of each authorization, whether a court authorization was sought within forty-eight hours, and whether a subsequent court authorization was granted.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 31.  A new section is added to chapter 9.73 RCW to read as follows:

    (b) When an investigative or law enforcement officer, while engaged in obtaining information by any means authorized by section 30 of this act, obtains information from a pen register or trap and trace relating to an offense other than an offense specified in the authorizing order, the information and evidence derived from it may be disclosed or used as provided in subsections (1) and (2) of this section.  Such information and derivative evidence may be used under subsection (3) of this section when authorized by a superior court where the court finds on subsequent application that the information was otherwise obtained in accordance with section 30 of this act.  Such application shall be made as soon as practicable.

    (5)(a) Any investigative or law enforcement officer, or attorney for the state or any political subdivision of the state, who by any means authorized by this section or section 28 or 29 of this act has obtained knowledge of the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication, or evidence derived from such contents, may also disclose such contents or derivative evidence to any federal intelligence, protective, immigration, national defense, or national security official to the extent that such contents or derivative evidence includes foreign intelligence or counterintelligence, as defined in section 3 of the National Security Act of 1947, 50 U.S.C. Sec. 401(a), or foreign intelligence information, as defined in subsection (19) of 18 U.S.C.

    (7) No otherwise privileged wire, oral, or electronic communication intercepted in accordance with, or in violation of, the provisions of this act shall lose its privileged character.

    Adds provisions authorizing the interception of communications in cases involving acts of terrorism (defined to include four crimes created in the striking amendment -- terrorism in the first degree; terrorism in the second degree; unlawful use or possession of a weapon of mass destruction; and threatening acts of terrorism in the first degree):

    (1) Allows prior judicial authorization to intercept a communication involving acts of terrorism when no party to the communication has consented to the interception.  Specifies the procedure for seeking such authorization, exceptions to that procedure, the basis upon which the court may grant authorization, the length of time for which such authorization is valid, and procedures after entering an order.

    (2) Allows law enforcement agencies to authorize the interception of communications with postinterception judicial review when at least one party has consented to the interception and the communication involves an act of terrorism.  Specifies when interceptions can be made and provides the procedure for postjudicial review.  Makes an intentional interception done in violation of one-party consent interception requirements a class C felony and subjects a law enforcement agency to liability for civil damages, including exemplary damages of $25,000, if the agency authorized interception without the required probable cause and without a reasonable suspicion the intercepted communication would involve the act of terrorism identified in the authorization.

    (3) Allows the expanded use of pen registers and traps and traces in investigations of terrorism and covers electronic communications such as e-mail as well as telephones.  Specifies procedure for seeking authorization from the superior court to use a pen register or a trap and trace and the basis upon which the court may grant authorization.  Specifies length of validity of authorization and allows for use before judicial authorization in emergency situations under certain circumstances.

    (4) Details the ways in which law enforcement agencies may share and use information obtained through surveillance authorized in investigations of terrorism:  (a) Federal law enforcement officers are expressly given authority to testify in state court as to evidence of terrorism obtained pursuant to federal law, if the evidence was obtained with prior judicial authorization; (b) federal or state officers may use or share information lawfully obtained under the terrorism provisions if the use or sharing is appropriate to their duties; (c) any person who has lawfully received information under the terrorism provisions may testify as to that information in state court; (d) evidence of a crime other than terrorism may also be shared or used if the evidence was obtained lawfully during a terrorism surveillance authorized under the terrorism provisions (may be testified to in state court upon a showing it was obtained in accordance with the surveillance authorization); (e) state officers are authorized to disclose to federal officials any evidence of foreign intelligence or counterintelligence obtained during a lawful surveillance under the terrorism provisions; and (f) interception of a communication does not change the nature of any privileged information in that communication.

    (5) Defines various terms related to terrorism surveillance and gives the state attorney general the same existing concurrent authority with county prosecutors with respect to other provisions of the Privacy Act.
