By Representative Appelwick

    Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

    "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.  A new section is added to chapter 10.14 RCW to read as follows:

    A parent of a child under age eighteen who is the victim of unlawful harassment may petition for an antiharassment protection order on behalf of the child."

SSB 6028 - H AMD

By Representative Appelwick

    On page 1, line 1 of the title, after "harassment;" strike the remainder of the title and insert "and adding a new section to chapter 10.14 RCW."

EFFECT:  The provisions of the underlying bill are stricken entirely and replaced with a general provision that a parent may file a petition for an antiharassment protection order on behalf of a child.  The amendment expands the underlying bill by allowing a parent to obtain a protection order for a child even if the alleged harasser is under age eighteen.  The amendment restricts the underlying provisions by retaining the existing definition of unlawful harassment and not expanding it to conduct that "is detrimental" to the child.
