HB 1378 - H AMD 15

By Representative Graves

ADOPTED 02/20/2017

    On page 3, beginning on line 9, strike all of subsection (b)

    Renumber the remaining subsections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly

    On page 3, line 22, after "RCW 4.12.040." insert the following:

    "(2) Even though they may involve discretion, the following actions by a judge shall not cause the loss of the right to file a notice of disqualification against the judge: Arranging the calendar, setting a date for a hearing or trial, ruling on an agreed continuance, issuing an arrest warrant, presiding over criminal preliminary proceedings under CrR 3.2.1, arraigning the accused, fixing bail, and presiding over juvenile detention and release hearings under JuCR 7.3 and 7.4."

    Renumber the remaining subsection consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly

EFFECT: Rearranges and rephrases the language about non-discretionary rulings, instead listing actions and rulings by a judge that do not result in loss of the right to file a notice of disqualification; however, the listed actions and rulings remain the same.
