    "NEW SECTION. Sec. 401.  A new section is added to chapter 10.19 RCW to read as follows:

    Notwithstanding superior court criminal rule CrR 3.2, a criminal defendant shall not be bailable if the court determines by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant is likely to pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the community at large if the defendant is released.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 402.  Section 401 of this act shall take effect if the proposed amendment to Article I, section 20 of the state Constitution authorizing the courts to refuse bail when the accused is likely upon release to pose a danger is validly submitted to and is approved and ratified by the voters at the next general election.  If the proposed amendment is not so approved and ratified, section 401 of this act is void in its entirety."

    Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct internal references accordingly.
