Sec. 1. RCW 10.05.010 and 1985 c 352 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

In a court of limited jurisdiction a person charged with a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor may petition the court to be considered for a deferred prosecution program. The petition shall be filed with the court at least seven days before the date set for trial but, upon a written motion and affidavit establishing good cause for the delay and failure to comply with this section, the court may waive this requirement subject to the defendant's reimbursement to the court of the witness fees and expenses due for subpoenaed witnesses who have appeared on the date set for trial.

A person charged with a traffic infraction, misdemeanor, or gross misdemeanor under Title 46 RCW shall not be eligible for a deferred prosecution program unless the court makes specific findings pursuant to RCW 10.05.020. Such person shall not be eligible for a deferred prosecution program more than once ((~~in any five-year period~~)). Separate offenses committed more than seven days apart may not be consolidated in a single program.

Sec. 2. RCW 10.05.020 and 1985 c 352 s 6 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The petitioner shall allege under oath in the petition that the wrongful conduct charged is the result of or caused by alcoholism, drug addiction, or mental problems for which the person is in need of treatment and unless treated the probability of future reoccurrence is great, along with a statement that the person agrees to pay the cost of a diagnosis and treatment of the alleged problem or problems if financially able to do so. The petition shall also contain a case history and written assessment prepared by an approved ((~~alcoholism~~)) treatment ((~~facility~~)) program as designated in chapter 70.96A RCW if the petition alleges alcoholism((~~, an approved drug program as designated in chapter 71.24 RCW if the petition alleges~~)) or drug addiction, or by ((~~an approved mental health center~~)) a licensed service provider as designated in chapter 71.24 RCW if the petition alleges a mental problem.

The secretary of social and health services shall periodically provide to courts of limited jurisdiction a list of the approved treatment programs and licensed service providers in the county in which the court is located. The court shall not approve the treatment plan unless the approved treatment program or licensed service provider preparing the case history and written assessment and the approved treatment program or licensed service provider proposing to administer the plan both are on the list provided by the secretary of social and health services.

(2) Before entry of an order deferring prosecution, a petitioner shall be advised of his or her rights as an accused and execute, as a condition of receiving treatment, a statement that contains: (a) An acknowledgement of his or her rights; (b) a stipulation to the admissibility of the facts contained in the written police report; ((~~and~~)) (c) an acknowledgement and waiver of the right to testify, to call witnesses to testify, and to present evidence in his or her defense; (d) an acknowledgement and waiver of the right to jury trial; and (e) an acknowledgement that the statement will be entered and used to support a finding of guilty if the court finds cause to revoke the order granting deferred prosecution. The petitioner shall also be advised that he or she may, if he or she proceeds to trial and is found guilty, be allowed to seek suspension of some or all of the fines and incarceration that may be ordered upon the condition that he or she seek treatment and, further, that he or she may seek treatment from public and private agencies at any time without regard to whether or not he or she is found guilty of the offense charged. ((He)) The petitioner shall also be advised that the court will not accept a petition for deferred prosecution from a person who sincerely believes that he or she is innocent of the charges or sincerely believes that he or she does not, in fact, suffer from alcoholism, drug addiction, or mental problems.

(3) The defendant shall state in his or her petition any other offenses or cases that the petitioner has used or intends to use under the proposed treatment program for a separate deferred prosecution. The court shall inquire before entering an order deferring prosecution whether the petitioner intends to use or has used the petition's proposed treatment program for a separate deferred prosecution for any other separate offenses or cases not mentioned in the petition. If other offenses or cases have been or will be included under the same proposed treatment program, the court shall not grant the deferred treatment program for any offenses committed more than seven days apart, pursuant to RCW 10.05.010. The court shall advise the petitioner that any attempt to consolidate additional offenses not disclosed under this section, in violation of RCW 10.05.010, shall be a breach of the conditions of the deferred prosecution. The court shall further advise the petitioner that proof of such violation shall result in the petitioner's removal from deferred prosecution and the court shall enter judgment pursuant to this section. Such representations by the petitioner, and findings and advisements by the court shall be included in the order granting the deferred prosecution.

(4) Before entering an order deferring prosecution, the court shall make specific findings that: (a) The petitioner has stipulated to the admissibility of the facts as contained in the written police report; (b) the petitioner has acknowledged the admissibility of the stipulated facts in any criminal hearing or trial on the underlying offense or offenses held subsequent to revocation of the order granting deferred prosecution; ((~~and~~)) (c) the petitioner has acknowledged and waived the right to testify, to call witnesses to testify, and to present evidence in his or her defense; (d) the petitioner has acknowledged and waived the right to a jury trial; (e) the petitioner's statements, stipulations, acknowledgements, and waivers were made knowingly and voluntarily; (f) the petitioner qualifies for deferred prosecution; and (g) the proposed treatment program includes, at a minimum: (i) Frequency and type of contact between offenders and therapist; (ii) specific issues to be addressed in the treatment and description of planned treatment modalities; (iii) monitoring plans, including any requirements regarding living conditions, lifestyle requirements, and monitoring by family members and others; (iv) anticipated length of treatment; and (v) recommended prohibitions relating to use of alcohol or drugs. Such findings shall be included in the order granting deferred prosecution.

Sec. 3. RCW 10.05.060 and 1990 c 250 s 13 are each amended to read as follows:

If the report recommends treatment, the court shall examine the treatment plan. If it approves the plan and the petitioner agrees to comply with its terms and conditions and agrees to pay the cost thereof, if able to do so, or arrange for the treatment, an entry shall be made upon the person's court docket showing that the person has been accepted for deferred prosecution. A copy of the treatment plan shall be attached to the docket, which shall then be removed from the regular court dockets and filed in a special court deferred prosecution file. If the charge be one that an abstract of the docket showing the charge and the date of petitioner's acceptance is required to be sent to the department of licensing, an abstract shall be sent, and the department of licensing shall make an entry of the charge and of the petitioner's acceptance for deferred prosecution on the department's driving record of the petitioner. The entry is not a conviction for purposes of Title 46 RCW. The department shall maintain the record for ((~~five years from date of entry of the order granting deferred prosecution~~)) as long as necessary to administer the provisions of this chapter.

Sec. 4. RCW 10.05.090 and 1985 c 352 s 12 are each amended to read as follows:

If the approved treatment program or licensed service provider fails to report the petitioner's breach as required by this section, the court, the probation department, or the prosecutor may notify the secretary of the department of social and health services of such failure to report. The court upon receiving such a report shall hold a hearing to determine whether the petitioner should be removed from the deferred prosecution program. At the hearing, evidence shall be taken of the petitioner's alleged failure to comply with the treatment plan and the petitioner shall have the right to present evidence on his or her own behalf. The court shall either order that the petitioner continue on the treatment plan or be removed from deferred prosecution. If removed from deferred prosecution, the court shall enter judgment pursuant to RCW 10.05.020 and, if the charge for which the deferred prosecution was granted was a traffic infraction, misdemeanor, or gross misdemeanor under Title 46 RCW, shall notify the department of licensing of the removal and entry of judgment.

Upon proof of successful completion of the two-year treatment program and verification that the petitioner has not been convicted of or found by the court to have committed a similar offense within five years after the date of entry of the order granting deferred prosecution, the court shall dismiss the charges pending against the petitioner.

((Five years from the date of the court's approval of a deferred prosecution program for an individual petitioner, those entries that remain in the department of licensing records relating to such petitioner shall be removed.))

(9) No determination of facts by the hearing officer under subsection (8) of this section has any collateral estoppel effect on a subsequent criminal prosecution and does not preclude litigation of those same facts in the criminal proceeding.

(10) If the person fails to timely request a hearing or fails to appear at a requested hearing, the right to a hearing is waived and the suspension, revocation, or denial shall be sustained.

(11) If the suspension, revocation, or denial is sustained, the department of licensing shall recover costs in excess of one hundred dollars as provided in RCW 12.20.060. The person's license, permit, or privilege to drive shall not be reissued until these costs are paid. If the suspension, revocation, or denial is rescinded, the person shall be awarded the amount of the hearing fee and the department shall reissue the person's license, permit, or privilege to drive without cost. If the suspension, revocation, or denial is sustained ((~~after such a hearing~~)), the person whose license, privilege, or permit is suspended, revoked, or denied has the right to ((~~file a petition in~~)) appeal to the superior court of the county of arrest ((~~to review the final order of revocation by the department in the manner provided in RCW 46.20.334.~~

~~(9)~~)) in the same manner as an appeal from a decision of a court of limited jurisdiction. The appellant must pay the costs associated with obtaining the record of the hearing before the hearing officer. The filing of a notice of appeal does not stay the suspension, revocation, or denial. A court shall not stay the suspension, revocation, or denial unless it finds that the appellant is likely to prevail in the appeal and without a stay the appellant will suffer irreparable injury. If the court stays the suspension, revocation, or denial, it may impose conditions on such stay. The stay shall not exceed ninety days, except for good cause shown, but shall in no event exceed one hundred eighty days.

(12) When it has been finally determined under the procedures of this section that a nonresident's privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this state has been suspended or revoked, the department shall give information in writing of the action taken to the motor vehicle administrator of the state of the person's residence and of any state in which he or she has a license.

Sec. 16. RCW 46.20.311 and 1993 c 501 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The department shall not suspend a driver's license or privilege to drive a motor vehicle on the public highways for a fixed period of more than one year, except as permitted under RCW 46.20.308, 46.20.342, or 46.61.515. Except for a suspension under RCW 46.20.289 and 46.20.291(5), whenever the license or driving privilege of any person is suspended by reason of a conviction, a finding that a traffic infraction has been committed, pursuant to chapter 46.29 RCW, ((or)) pursuant to RCW 46.20.291 or 46.20.308, or because of a violation of a mandatory condition of probation imposed under RCW 46.61.515, the suspension of license or privilege to drive shall remain in effect until the person gives and thereafter maintains proof of financial responsibility for the future as provided in chapter 46.29 RCW. The department shall not issue to the person a new, duplicate, or renewal license until the person pays a reissue fee of twenty dollars. If the suspension is imposed under RCW 46.20.308 or the result of a violation of RCW 46.61.502 or 46.61.504 or a violation of a mandatory condition of probation imposed under RCW 46.61.515, the reissue fee shall be ((~~fifty~~)) one hundred dollars.

(2) Any person whose license or privilege to drive a motor vehicle on the public highways has been revoked, unless the revocation was for a cause which has been removed, is not entitled to have the license or privilege renewed or restored until: (a) After the expiration of one year from the date the license or privilege to drive was revoked; (b) after the expiration of the applicable revocation period provided by RCW 46.61.515(3) (b) or (c); (c) after the expiration of two years for persons convicted of vehicular homicide; (d) after the expiration of one year in cases of revocation for the first refusal within five years to submit to a chemical test under RCW 46.20.308; (e) after the expiration of two years in cases of revocation for the second or subsequent refusal within five years to submit to a chemical test under RCW 46.20.308; or (f) after the expiration of the applicable revocation period provided by RCW 46.20.265. After the expiration of the appropriate period, the person may make application for a new license as provided by law together with a reissue fee in the amount of twenty dollars, but if the revocation is the result of a violation of RCW 46.20.308, 46.61.502, or 46.61.504, the reissue fee shall be ((~~fifty~~)) one hundred dollars. Except for a revocation under RCW 46.20.265, the department shall not then issue a new license unless it is satisfied after investigation of the driving ability of the person that it will be safe to grant the privilege of driving a motor vehicle on the public highways, and until the person gives and thereafter maintains proof of financial responsibility for the future as provided in chapter 46.29 RCW. For a revocation under RCW 46.20.265, the department shall not issue a new license unless it is satisfied after investigation of the driving ability of the person that it will be safe to grant that person the privilege of driving a motor vehicle on the public highways.

(3) Whenever the driver's license of any person is suspended pursuant to Article IV of the nonresident violators compact or RCW 46.23.020 or 46.20.289 or 46.20.291(5), the department shall not issue to the person any new or renewal license until the person pays a reissue fee of twenty dollars. If the suspension is the result of a violation of the laws of this or any other state, province, or other jurisdiction involving (a) the operation or physical control of a motor vehicle upon the public highways while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs, ((or)) (b) the refusal to submit to a ((~~chemical~~)) test of the driver's breath or blood alcohol content, or (c) the result of a test of the driver's breath or blood showing an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, the reissue fee shall be ((~~fifty~~)) one hundred dollars.

Sec. 17. RCW 46.20.391 and 1985 c 407 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) Any person licensed under this chapter who is convicted of an offense relating to motor vehicles for which suspension or revocation of the driver's license is mandatory, other than vehicular homicide or vehicular assault, or whose license is suspended pursuant to RCW 46.20.308(7) may submit to the department an application for an occupational driver's license. The department, upon receipt of the prescribed fee and upon determining that the petitioner is engaged in an occupation or trade that makes it essential that the petitioner operate a motor vehicle, may issue an occupational driver's license and may set definite restrictions as provided in RCW 46.20.394. No person may petition for, and the department shall not issue, an occupational driver's license that is effective during the first thirty days of any suspension or revocation imposed under RCW 46.61.515 or 46.20.308(7). A person aggrieved by the decision of the department on the application for an occupational driver's license may request a hearing as provided by rule of the department.

(2) An applicant for an occupational driver's license is eligible to receive such license only if:

(a) Within one year immediately preceding the present conviction or suspension imposed under RCW 46.20.308(7), the applicant has not been convicted of any offense relating to motor vehicles for which suspension or revocation of a driver's license is mandatory; and

(b) Within five years immediately preceding the present conviction or suspension imposed under RCW 46.20.308(7), the applicant has not been convicted of driving or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor under RCW 46.61.502 or 46.61.504, of vehicular homicide under RCW 46.61.520, or of vehicular assault under RCW 46.61.522 nor has the applicant's license, permit, or privilege to drive been suspended, revoked, or denied pursuant to RCW 46.20.308; and

(c) The applicant is engaged in an occupation or trade that makes it essential that he or she operate a motor vehicle; and

(d) The applicant files satisfactory proof of financial responsibility pursuant to chapter 46.29 RCW.

(3) The director shall cancel an occupational driver's license upon receipt of notice that the holder thereof has been convicted of operating a motor vehicle in violation of its restrictions, or of an offense that pursuant to chapter 46.20 RCW would warrant suspension or revocation of a regular driver's license. The cancellation is effective as of the date of the conviction, and continues with the same force and effect as any suspension or revocation under this title.

Sec. 18. RCW 46.61.502 and 1993 c 328 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) A person is guilty of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug if the person drives a vehicle within this state:

(a) And the person has ((~~0.10~~)) 0.08 grams or more of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of breath within two hours after driving, as shown by analysis of the person's breath made under RCW 46.61.506; or

(d) While the person is under the combined influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor and any drug.

(3) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subsection (1) (a) and (b) of this section which the defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant consumed a sufficient quantity of alcohol after the time of driving and before the administration of an analysis of the person's breath or blood to cause the defendant's alcohol concentration to be ((~~0.10~~)) 0.08 or more within two hours after driving. The court shall not admit evidence of this defense unless the defendant notifies the prosecution prior to the earlier of (a) seven days prior to trial or (b) the omnibus or pretrial hearing in the case of the defendant's intent to assert the affirmative defense.

(4) Analyses of blood or breath samples obtained more than two hours after the alleged driving may be used as evidence that within two hours of the alleged driving, a person had ((~~0.10~~)) 0.08 grams or more of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of breath or ((~~0.10~~)) 0.08 percent or more of alcohol in the person's blood, pursuant to subsection (1) (a) and (b) of this section, and may be used as evidence that a person was under the influence of or affected by intoxicating liquors or any drug pursuant to subsection (1) (c) and (d) of this section.

(d) While the person is under the combined influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor and any drug.

(2) The fact that any person charged with a violation of this section is or has been entitled to use such drug under the laws of this state shall not constitute a defense against any charge of violating this section. No person may be convicted under this section if, prior to being pursued by a law enforcement officer, the person has moved the vehicle safely off the roadway.

(3) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subsection (1) (a) and (b) of this section which the defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant consumed a sufficient quantity of alcohol after the time of being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and before the administration of an analysis of the person's breath or blood to cause the defendant's alcohol concentration to be ((~~0.10~~)) 0.08 or more within two hours after being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle. The court shall not admit evidence of this defense unless the defendant notifies the prosecution prior to the earlier of (a) seven days prior to trial or (b) the omnibus or pretrial hearing in the case of the defendant's intent to assert the affirmative defense.

Sec. 20. RCW 46.61.506 and 1987 c 373 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug, if the ((~~amount of~~)) alcohol ((in)) concentration of the person's blood or breath at the time alleged as shown by analysis of his or her blood or breath is less than ((~~0.10 percent by weight of alcohol in his blood or 0.10 grams of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of the person's breath~~)) 0.08, it is evidence that may be considered with other competent evidence in determining whether the person was under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug.

(2) The breath analysis shall be based upon grams of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of breath. The foregoing provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting the introduction of any other competent evidence bearing upon the question whether the person was under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug.

(3) Analysis of the person's blood or breath to be considered valid under the provisions of this section or RCW 46.61.502 or 46.61.504 shall have been performed according to methods approved by the state toxicologist and by an individual possessing a valid permit issued by the state toxicologist for this purpose.

(6) Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a test or tests at the request of a law enforcement officer, full information concerning the test or tests shall be made available to him or her or his or her attorney.

Sec. 21. RCW 46.61.515 and 1993 c 501 s 7 and 1993 c 239 s 1 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

(1) ((~~Every~~)) A person who is convicted of a violation of RCW 46.61.502 or 46.61.504 where the result of the test of the person's breath or blood showed an alcohol concentration of less than 0.15 within two hours after driving or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle within this state shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than twenty-four consecutive hours nor more than one year, and by a fine of not less than two hundred fifty dollars and not more than ((~~one~~)) five thousand dollars.

The sentence may be imposed in whole or in part upon violation of a condition of ((~~suspension~~)) probation during the suspension period.

(g) For each violation of mandatory conditions of probation under (f) (i) and (ii) or (f) (i) and (iii) of this subsection, the court shall order the convicted person to be confined for thirty days, which shall not be suspended or deferred.

(c) On and after January 1, 1995, the period of any suspension, revocation, or denial imposed under (a) and (b) of this subsection shall be reduced by the length of the period of suspension, revocation, or denial imposed under RCW 46.20.308(7).

(d) For each incident violating a mandatory condition or conditions of probation imposed under subsection (1) or (2) of this section, the license, permit, or privilege to drive of the person shall be suspended by the department for thirty days or, if such license, permit, or privilege to drive already is suspended, revoked, or denied at the time the finding of probation violation is made, the suspension, revocation, or denial then in effect shall be extended by thirty days.

(4) ((In any case provided for in this section, where a driver's license is to be revoked or suspended, the revocation or suspension shall be stayed and shall not take effect until after the determination of any appeal from the conviction which may lawfully be taken, but in case the conviction is sustained on appeal the revocation or suspension takes effect as of the date that the conviction becomes effective for other purposes.)) The filing of a notice of appeal shall not stay the suspension, revocation, or denial of a person's license, permit, or privilege to drive imposed under this section.
