REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

 

President Owen: “The President would like to make an announcement, it is Valentine’s Day and I’ve already seen some people stuffing their face out there, particularly Senator Sheldon back there, and of course that violates the very strict rules of decorum of the Senate but the President believes that it would be appropriate today if you wished to partake of treats today particularly those incredible cookies, if you so like, without violating the rules of decorum. Chew with your mouth shut.”

 

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

 

Senator Eide: “Well thank you Mr. President. Well, once again, my hat goes off to your wonderful beautiful wife, Linda for the cookies she has on our desk every Valentine’s day. This is my tenth year in the senate and I think she’s got every single year, so go home and give her a big kiss for all of us.”.

 

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

 

Senator Pflug: “Thank you Mr. President and point well taken. Hopefully we’ll adjourn in time for you to do that in a timely manner. I also would like to thank you, your lovely wife and on behalf of the nurses particularly appreciate the oatmeal cookies which certainly are a respectable breakfast food, don’t you think?

      (a) Establish a small business innovation research assistance program, including a proposal review process, to train and assist Washington small businesses to win phase I small business innovation research program awards. (((a))) In operating the program the Washington technology center shall give priority to first-time small business innovation research program applicants, new businesses, and firms with fewer than ten employees((.));

      NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1 (1) The legislature finds:

     (a) The sexual abuse of a child is a most serious crime and an act repugnant to moral instincts;

     (b) A pedophile is a person who has fantasies, urges, or behaviors that involve sexual activity with a child; and

     (c) When a person acts on a pedophilic urge, he or she has committed a criminal act against the most vulnerable segment of our society, children. The main method for preventing pedophilia is avoiding situations that may promote pedophilic acts.

     (2) It is the intent of the legislature to criminalize conduct that is intended to provide a person the information necessary to commit a pedophilic act.

      NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2   A new section is added to chapter 9.68A RCW to read as follows:

     (1) Every person who knowingly publishes information relating to the location of children or a place where children regularly gather, or the specific time and location in which children or a particular child may be found, or the personal information of a child, for the purpose of arousing or gratifying the sexual desire of any person, is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. It is a defense to a charge against an internet service provider or social networking site that the internet service provider or social networking site had only constructive knowledge and not actual knowledge.

     (2)It is not a defense to prosecution under this section that the information includes a specific disclaimer of intention to incite a sexual offense against a child if it is clear from the overall character of the communication that its purpose is to promote the commission of a sexual offense against a child.

     (3) For the purposes of this act:

     (a) "Location of children or a place where children regularly gather” means any public facility or private facility whose primary purpose, at any time, is to provide for the education, care, or recreation of a child.

     (e) "Publishes" means makes information available to another person through any medium, including, but not limited to, the internet, the world wide web, or e-mail.

      NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3   A new section is added to chapter 4.24 RCW to read as follows:

     (1) Whenever it appears that any person is committing or has committed any act that constitutes a violation of section 2 of this act, the prosecuting attorney or the parents or guardian of any child harmed by an alleged violation of section 2 of this act may initiate a civil proceeding in superior court to enjoin such violation, and may petition the court to issue an order for the discontinuance of the publication of the information in violation of section 2 of this

act.

     (2) An action under this section shall be brought in the county in which the violation is alleged to have taken place, and shall be commenced by the filing of a verified complaint, or shall be accompanied by an affidavit.

     (3) If it is shown to the satisfaction of the court, either by verified complaint or affidavit, that a person is committing or has committed any act that constitutes a violation of section 2 of this act, the court may issue a temporary restraining order to abate and prevent the continuance or recurrence of the act.     (4) The court may issue a permanent injunction to restrain, abate, or prevent the continuance or recurrence of the violation of section 2 of this act. The court may grant declaratory relief, mandatory orders, or any other relief deemed necessary to accomplish the purposes of the injunction. The court may retain jurisdiction of the case for the purpose of enforcing its orders.

      NEW SECTION.  Sec. 4   A new section is added to chapter 4.24 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) The parents or guardian of any child whose personal information is published in violation of section 2 of this act and who suffers damages as a result of such conduct may bring a cause of action against the person who published such information, for actual damages sustained and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

        (2) If a court has found that any person has engaged in any act that constitutes a violation of section 2 of this act the court shall award liquidated damages to the child whose personal information is published in violation of section 2 of this act in the amount of ten thousand dollars for each violation.

      NEW SECTION.  Sec. 5   If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected.
