HB 2310 - DIGEST

Declares that "good cause" for a temporary emergency license includes, but is not limited to, when the applicant: (1) Has obtained a valid no-contact order, antiharassment order, or protection order restraining another person from molesting or disturbing the applicant or excluding another person from going onto the grounds of or entering the home, workplace, or school of the applicant; and

(2) Has sworn by affidavit that it is not unlawful for the applicant to possess a firearm under chapter 9.41 RCW.

Provides that a temporary emergency license issued on the basis of a no-contact order, antiharassment order, or protection order becomes invalid either upon the revocation or termination of the no-contact order, antiharassment order, or protection order or upon the denial of the concealed pistol license, whichever occurs sooner.

Provides that a person who knowingly presents a false affidavit for a temporary emergency license or makes a false statement on an application for a temporary emergency license, is guilty of false swearing under RCW 9A.72.040.
