ADOPTED 03/07/2019

On page 6, beginning on line 8, after "offenses." strike all material through "justice." on line 12

On page 6, beginning on line 13, after "include" strike all material through "principals" on line 29 and insert the following: ":

(a) Four community members, one appointed by each of the two largest caucuses of the Senate and one appointed by each of the two largest caucuses of the House of Representatives;

(b) Two members appointed by the governor from organizations representing groups protected under RCW 9A.36.080; and

(c) One member appointed by the governor representing law enforcement."

EFFECT:   Modifies the membership of the multidisciplinary hate crime advisory working group by removing the membership in the underlying bill and instead establishing that the membership includes: (1) four community members, one appointed by each of the two largest caucuses of the Senate and the House of Representatives; (2) two members from organizations representing groups protected under the hate crime offense statute, appointed by the Governor; and (3) one member representing law enforcement, appointed by the Governor. Limits the working group membership to listed entities and persons, rather than providing that membership includes "at a minimum" listed groups. Removes language describing the intent of the working group to be a collaboration between government entities, members or vulnerable communities, and persons with lived experience relating to hate crimes, and requiring the working group to undertake its work with a view toward restorative justice.
