BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1 A new section is added to chapter 82.12 RCW
to read as follows:
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply in respect to the

a mailer, if the mailer is both printed outside the state and mailed
directly from outside the state to a mass audience.

not extend to promotional material included with billing statements or
statements of account.
