   "Sec. 6. RCW 46.37.540 and 1983 c 3 s 119 are each amended to read as follows:

   (1) The legislature intends to make it illegal for persons to turn forward the odometer on a new car to avoid compliance with the emissions standards required by this act.

   (2) It shall be unlawful for any person to disconnect, turn back, turn forward, or reset the odometer of any motor vehicle with the intent to ((reduce)) change the number of miles indicated on the odometer gauge. A violation of this subsection is a gross misdemeanor."
