BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1 The legislature intends by this act to
reorganize criminal provisions throughout the Revised Code of
Washington to clarify and simplify the identification and referencing
of crimes. It is not intended that this act effectuate any substantive
change to any criminal provision in the Revised Code of Washington.
Sec. 2 RCW 2.48.180 and 2001 c 310 s 2 are each amended to read
as follows:
(1) As used in this section:
(a) "Legal provider" means an active member in good standing of the
state bar, and any other person authorized by the Washington state
supreme court to engage in full or limited practice of law;
(b) "Nonlawyer" means a person to whom the Washington supreme court
has granted a limited authorization to practice law but who practices
law outside that authorization, and a person who is not an active
member in good standing of the state bar, including persons who are
disbarred or suspended from membership;
(c) "Ownership interest" means the right to control the affairs of
a business, or the right to share in the profits of a business, and
includes a loan to the business when the interest on the loan is based
upon the income of the business or the loan carries more than a
commercially reasonable rate of interest.
(2) The following constitutes unlawful practice of law:
(a) A nonlawyer practices law, or holds himself or herself out as
entitled to practice law;
(b) A legal provider holds an investment or ownership interest in
a business primarily engaged in the practice of law, knowing that a
nonlawyer holds an investment or ownership interest in the business;
(c) A nonlawyer knowingly holds an investment or ownership interest
in a business primarily engaged in the practice of law;
(d) A legal provider works for a business that is primarily engaged
in the practice of law, knowing that a nonlawyer holds an investment or
ownership interest in the business; or
(e) A nonlawyer shares legal fees with a legal provider.
(3)(a) Unlawful practice of law is a crime. A single violation of
this section is a gross misdemeanor.
(b) Each subsequent violation of this section, whether alleged in
the same or in subsequent prosecutions, is a class C felony punishable
according to chapter 9A.20 RCW.
(4) Nothing contained in this section affects the power of the
courts to grant injunctive or other equitable relief or to punish as
for contempt.
(5) Whenever a legal provider or a person licensed by the state in
a business or profession is convicted, enjoined, or found liable for
damages or a civil penalty or other equitable relief under this
section, the plaintiff's attorney shall provide written notification of
the judgment to the appropriate regulatory or disciplinary body or
agency.
(6) A violation of this section is cause for discipline and
constitutes unprofessional conduct that could result in any regulatory
penalty provided by law, including refusal, revocation, or suspension
of a business or professional license, or right or admission to
practice. Conduct that constitutes a violation of this section is
unprofessional conduct in violation of RCW 18.130.180.
(7) In a proceeding under this section it is a defense if proven by
the defendant by a preponderance of the evidence that, at the time of
the offense, the conduct alleged was authorized by the rules of
professional conduct or the admission to practice rules, or Washington
business and professions licensing statutes or rules.
(8) Independent of authority granted to the attorney general, the
prosecuting attorney may petition the superior court for an injunction
against a person who has violated this chapter. Remedies in an
injunctive action brought by a prosecuting attorney are limited to an
order enjoining, restraining, or preventing the doing of any act or
practice that constitutes a violation of this chapter and imposing a
civil penalty of up to five thousand dollars for each violation. The
prevailing party in the action may, in the discretion of the court,
recover its reasonable investigative costs and the costs of the action
including a reasonable attorney's fee. The degree of proof required in
an action brought under this subsection is a preponderance of the
evidence. An action under this subsection must be brought within three
years after the violation of this chapter occurred.
Sec. 3 RCW 3.50.440 and 1984 c 258 s 120 are each amended to read
as follows:
Every person convicted by the municipal court of a violation of the
criminal provisions of an ordinance for which no punishment is
specifically prescribed in the ordinance is guilty of a gross
misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not more than five
thousand dollars or imprisonment in the city jail for a period not to
exceed one year, or both such fine and imprisonment.
Sec. 4 RCW 4.24.320 and 1979 c 145 s 1 are each amended to read
as follows:
Any person who suffers damages as a result of actions described in
RCW 9A.48.080(c) or any owner of a horse, mule, cow, heifer, bull,
steer, swine, or sheep who suffers damages as a result of a willful,
unauthorized act described in RCW 9A.56.080 or section 75 of this act
may bring an action against the person or persons committing the act in
a court of competent jurisdiction for exemplary damages up to three
times the actual damages sustained, plus attorney's fees.
Sec. 5 RCW 7.40.230 and 1990 c 11 s 4 are each amended to read as
follows:
(1) Whenever it appears that any person is engaged in or about to
engage in any act that constitutes or will constitute a violation of
RCW 9.26A.110, section 21 of this act, or 9.26A.090, the prosecuting
attorney, a telecommunications company, or any person harmed by an
alleged violation of RCW 9.26A.110, section 21 of this act, or
9.26A.090 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 specific telephone service being used in
violation of RCW 9.26A.110, section 21 of this act, or 9.26A.090.
(2) An action under this section shall be brought in the county in
which the unlawful act or acts are 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 engaged in or about
to engage in any act that constitutes a violation of RCW 9.26A.110,
section 21 of this act, or 9.26A.090, the court may issue a temporary
restraining order to abate and prevent the continuance or recurrence of
the act. The court may direct the sheriff to seize and retain until
further order of the court any device that is being used in violation
of RCW 9.26A.110, section 21 of this act, or 9.26A.090. All property
seized pursuant to the order of the court shall remain in the custody
of the court.
(4) The court may issue a permanent injunction to restrain, abate
or prevent the continuance or recurrence of the violation of RCW
9.26A.110, section 21 of this act, or 9.26A.090. 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.
(5) If it is shown to the satisfaction of the court, either by
verified complaint or affidavit, that a person is engaged in or is
about to engage in any act that constitutes a violation of RCW
9.26A.110, section 21 of this act, or 9.26A.090, the court may issue an
order which shall be promptly served upon the person in whose name the
telecommunications device is listed, requiring the party, within a
reasonable time, to be fixed by the court, from the time of service of
the petition on ((said)) the party, to show cause before the judge why
telephone service should not promptly be discontinued. At the hearing
the burden of proof shall be on the complainant.
(6) Upon a finding by the court that the telecommunications device
is being used or has been used in violation of RCW 9.26A.110 or section
21 of this act, the court may issue an order requiring the telephone
company which is rendering service over the device to disconnect such
service. Upon receipt of such order, which shall be served upon an
officer of the telephone company by the sheriff or deputy of the county
in which the telecommunications device is installed, the telephone
company shall proceed promptly to disconnect and remove such device and
discontinue all telephone service until further order of the court,
provided that the telephone company may do so without breach of the
peace or trespass.
(7) The telecommunications company that petitions the court for the
removal of any telecommunications device under this section shall be a
necessary party to any proceeding or action arising out of or under RCW
9.26A.110 or section 21 of this act.
(8) No telephone company shall be liable for any damages, penalty,
or forfeiture, whether civil or criminal, for any legal act performed
in compliance with any order issued by the court.
(9) Property seized pursuant to the direction of the court that the
court has determined to have been used in violation of RCW 9.26A.110 or
section 21 of this act shall be forfeited after notice and hearing.
The court may remit or mitigate the forfeiture upon terms and
conditions as the court deems reasonable if it finds that such
forfeiture was incurred without gross negligence or without any intent
of the petitioner to violate the law, or it finds the existence of such
mitigating circumstances as to justify the remission or the mitigation
of the forfeiture. In determining whether to remit or mitigate
forfeiture, the court shall consider losses that may have been suffered
by victims as the result of the use of the forfeited property.
Sec. 6 RCW 9.05.030 and 1999 c 191 s 1 are each amended to read
as follows:
Whenever two or more persons assemble for the purpose of committing
criminal sabotage, as defined in RCW 9.05.060, such an assembly is

the court, based upon the risk to community safety.

(7) "Community placement" means that period during which the

offender and any dependents.

relieve the offender of the duty to register or to reregister following

or vocation. The obligation to register shall only cease pursuant to
RCW 9A.44.140.

jurisdiction over the offender shall notify the offender of the
registration requirements before the offender moves to Washington.

or juvenile who has been found not guilty by reason of insanity under
chapter 10.77 RCW of (A) committing a sex offense on, before, or after
February 28, 1990, and who, on or after July 23, 1995, is in custody,
as a result of that finding, of the state department of social and
health services, or (B) committing a kidnapping offense on, before, or

February 28, 1990, but who was released before July 23, 1995, or any
adult or juvenile who has been found not guilty by reason of insanity
of committing a kidnapping offense but who was released before July 27,
1997, shall be required to register within twenty-four hours of
receiving notice of this registration requirement. The state
department of social and health services shall make reasonable attempts
within available resources to notify sex offenders who were released
before July 23, 1995, and kidnapping offenders who were released before
July 27, 1997. Failure to register within twenty-four hours of
release, or of receiving notice, constitutes a violation of this
section and is punishable as provided in subsection (10) of this
section.
(vii) OFFENDERS WHO LACK A FIXED RESIDENCE. Any person who lacks
a fixed residence and leaves the county in which he or she is
registered and enters and remains within a new county for twenty-four
hours is required to register with the county sheriff not more than
twenty-four hours after entering the county and provide the information
required in subsection (3)(b) of this section.
(viii) OFFENDERS WHO LACK A FIXED RESIDENCE AND WHO ARE UNDER

the supervision of the department shall register in the county of their
supervision.
(ix) OFFENDERS WHO MOVE TO, WORK, CARRY ON A VOCATION, OR ATTEND
SCHOOL IN ANOTHER STATE. Offenders required to register in Washington,
who move to another state, or who work, carry on a vocation, or attend
school in another state shall register a new address, fingerprints, and
photograph with the new state within ten days after establishing
residence, or after beginning to work, carry on a vocation, or attend
school in the new state. The person must also send written notice
within ten days of moving to the new state or to a foreign country to
the county sheriff with whom the person last registered in Washington
state. The county sheriff shall promptly forward this information to
the Washington state patrol.
(b) Failure to register within the time required under this section
constitutes a per se violation of this section and is punishable as
provided in subsection (10) of this section. The county sheriff shall
not be required to determine whether the person is living within the
county.
(c) An arrest on charges of failure to register, service of an
information, or a complaint for a violation of this section, or
arraignment on charges for a violation of this section, constitutes
actual notice of the duty to register. Any person charged with the
crime of failure to register under this section who asserts as a
defense the lack of notice of the duty to register shall register
immediately following actual notice of the duty through arrest,
service, or arraignment. Failure to register as required under this
subsection (4)(c) constitutes grounds for filing another charge of
failing to register. Registering following arrest, service, or
arraignment on charges shall not relieve the offender from criminal
liability for failure to register prior to the filing of the original
charge.
(d) The deadlines for the duty to register under this section do
not relieve any sex offender of the duty to register under this section
as it existed prior to July 28, 1991.
(5)(a) If any person required to register pursuant to this section
changes his or her residence address within the same county, the person
must send written notice of the change of address to the county sheriff
within seventy-two hours of moving. If any person required to register
pursuant to this section moves to a new county, the person must send
written notice of the change of address at least fourteen days before
moving to the county sheriff in the new county of residence and must
register with that county sheriff within twenty-four hours of moving.
The person must also send written notice within ten days of the change
of address in the new county to the county sheriff with whom the person
last registered. The county sheriff with whom the person last
registered shall promptly forward the information concerning the change
of address to the county sheriff for the county of the person's new
residence. Upon receipt of notice of change of address to a new state,
the county sheriff shall promptly forward the information regarding the
change of address to the agency designated by the new state as the
state's offender registration agency.
(b) It is an affirmative defense to a charge that the person failed
to send a notice at least fourteen days in advance of moving as
required under (a) of this subsection that the person did not know the
location of his or her new residence at least fourteen days before
moving. The defendant must establish the defense by a preponderance of
the evidence and, to prevail on the defense, must also prove by a
preponderance that the defendant sent the required notice within
twenty-four hours of determining the new address.
(6)(a) Any person required to register under this section who lacks
a fixed residence shall provide written notice to the sheriff of the

marriage. A sex offender under the requirement to register under this

Sec. 98 RCW 13.40.070 and 2001 c 175 s 2 are each amended to read
as follows:
(1) Complaints referred to the juvenile court alleging the
commission of an offense shall be referred directly to the prosecutor.
The prosecutor, upon receipt of a complaint, shall screen the complaint
to determine whether:
(a) The alleged facts bring the case within the jurisdiction of the
court; and
(b) On a basis of available evidence there is probable cause to
believe that the juvenile did commit the offense.
(2) If the identical alleged acts constitute an offense under both
the law of this state and an ordinance of any city or county of this
state, state law shall govern the prosecutor's screening and charging
decision for both filed and diverted cases.
(3) If the requirements of subsections (1)(a) and (b) of this
section are met, the prosecutor shall either file an information in
juvenile court or divert the case, as set forth in subsections (5),
(6), and (7) of this section. If the prosecutor finds that the
requirements of subsection (1)(a) and (b) of this section are not met,
the prosecutor shall maintain a record, for one year, of such decision
and the reasons therefor. In lieu of filing an information or
diverting an offense a prosecutor may file a motion to modify community
supervision where such offense constitutes a violation of community
supervision.
(4) An information shall be a plain, concise, and definite written
statement of the essential facts constituting the offense charged. It
shall be signed by the prosecuting attorney and conform to chapter
10.37 RCW.
(5) Where a case is legally sufficient, the prosecutor shall file
an information with the juvenile court if:
(a) An alleged offender is accused of a class A felony, a class B
felony, an attempt to commit a class B felony, a class C felony listed
in RCW 9.94A.411(2) as a crime against persons or listed in RCW
9A.46.060 as a crime of harassment, or a class C felony that is a
violation of RCW 9.41.080 or 9.41.040(((1)(b))) (2)(a)(iii); or
(b) An alleged offender is accused of a felony and has a criminal
history of any felony, or at least two gross misdemeanors, or at least
two misdemeanors; or
(c) An alleged offender has previously been committed to the
department; or
(d) An alleged offender has been referred by a diversion unit for
prosecution or desires prosecution instead of diversion; or
(e) An alleged offender has two or more diversion agreements on the
alleged offender's criminal history; or
(f) A special allegation has been filed that the offender or an
accomplice was armed with a firearm when the offense was committed.
(6) Where a case is legally sufficient the prosecutor shall divert
the case if the alleged offense is a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor
or violation and the alleged offense is the offender's first offense or
violation. If the alleged offender is charged with a related offense
that must or may be filed under subsections (5) and (7) of this
section, a case under this subsection may also be filed.
(7) Where a case is legally sufficient and falls into neither
subsection (5) nor (6) of this section, it may be filed or diverted.
In deciding whether to file or divert an offense under this section the
prosecutor shall be guided only by the length, seriousness, and recency
of the alleged offender's criminal history and the circumstances
surrounding the commission of the alleged offense.
(8) Whenever a juvenile is placed in custody or, where not placed
in custody, referred to a diversion interview, the parent or legal
guardian of the juvenile shall be notified as soon as possible
concerning the allegation made against the juvenile and the current
status of the juvenile. Where a case involves victims of crimes
against persons or victims whose property has not been recovered at the
time a juvenile is referred to a diversion unit, the victim shall be
notified of the referral and informed how to contact the unit.
(9) The responsibilities of the prosecutor under subsections (1)
through (8) of this section may be performed by a juvenile court
probation counselor for any complaint referred to the court alleging
the commission of an offense which would not be a felony if committed
by an adult, if the prosecutor has given sufficient written notice to
the juvenile court that the prosecutor will not review such complaints.
(10) The prosecutor, juvenile court probation counselor, or
diversion unit may, in exercising their authority under this section or
RCW 13.40.080, refer juveniles to mediation or victim offender
reconciliation programs. Such mediation or victim offender
reconciliation programs shall be voluntary for victims.
Sec. 99 RCW 13.40.160 and 2002 c 175 s 22 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) The standard range disposition for a juvenile adjudicated of an
offense is determined according to RCW 13.40.0357.
(a) When the court sentences an offender to a local sanction as
provided in RCW 13.40.0357 option A, the court shall impose a
determinate disposition within the standard ranges, except as provided
in subsections (2), (3), and (4) of this section. The disposition may
be comprised of one or more local sanctions.
(b) When the court sentences an offender to a standard range as
provided in RCW 13.40.0357 option A that includes a term of confinement
exceeding thirty days, commitment shall be to the department for the
standard range of confinement, except as provided in subsections (2),
(3), and (4) of this section.
(2) If the court concludes, and enters reasons for its conclusion,
that disposition within the standard range would effectuate a manifest
injustice the court shall impose a disposition outside the standard
range, as indicated in option C of RCW 13.40.0357. The court's finding
of manifest injustice shall be supported by clear and convincing
evidence.
A disposition outside the standard range shall be determinate and
shall be comprised of confinement or community supervision, or a
combination thereof. When a judge finds a manifest injustice and
imposes a sentence of confinement exceeding thirty days, the court
shall sentence the juvenile to a maximum term, and the provisions of
RCW 13.40.030(2) shall be used to determine the range. A disposition
outside the standard range is appealable under RCW 13.40.230 by the
state or the respondent. A disposition within the standard range is
not appealable under RCW 13.40.230.
(3) When a juvenile offender is found to have committed a sex
offense, other than a sex offense that is also a serious violent
offense as defined by RCW 9.94A.030, and has no history of a prior sex
offense, the court, on its own motion or the motion of the state or the
respondent, may order an examination to determine whether the
respondent is amenable to treatment.
The report of the examination shall include at a minimum the
following: The respondent's version of the facts and the official
version of the facts, the respondent's offense history, an assessment
of problems in addition to alleged deviant behaviors, the respondent's
social, educational, and employment situation, and other evaluation
measures used. The report shall set forth the sources of the
evaluator's information.
The examiner shall assess and report regarding the respondent's
amenability to treatment and relative risk to the community. A
proposed treatment plan shall be provided and shall include, at a
minimum:
(a)(i) Frequency and type of contact between the offender 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,
legal guardians, or others;
(iv) Anticipated length of treatment; and
(v) Recommended crime-related prohibitions.
The court on its own motion may order, or on a motion by the state
shall order, a second examination regarding the offender's amenability
to treatment. The evaluator shall be selected by the party making the
motion. The defendant shall pay the cost of any second examination
ordered unless the court finds the defendant to be indigent in which
case the state shall pay the cost.
After receipt of reports of the examination, the court shall then
consider whether the offender and the community will benefit from use
of this special sex offender disposition alternative and consider the
victim's opinion whether the offender should receive a treatment
disposition under this section. If the court determines that this
special sex offender disposition alternative is appropriate, then the
court shall impose a determinate disposition within the standard range
for the offense, or if the court concludes, and enters reasons for its
conclusions, that such disposition would cause a manifest injustice,
the court shall impose a disposition under option C, and the court may
suspend the execution of the disposition and place the offender on
community supervision for at least two years. As a condition of the
suspended disposition, the court may impose the conditions of community
supervision and other conditions, including up to thirty days of
confinement and requirements that the offender do any one or more of
the following:
(b)(i) Devote time to a specific education, employment, or
occupation;
(ii) Undergo available outpatient sex offender treatment for up to
two years, or inpatient sex offender treatment not to exceed the
standard range of confinement for that offense. A community mental
health center may not be used for such treatment unless it has an
appropriate program designed for sex offender treatment. The
respondent shall not change sex offender treatment providers or
treatment conditions without first notifying the prosecutor, the
probation counselor, and the court, and shall not change providers
without court approval after a hearing if the prosecutor or probation
counselor object to the change;
(iii) Remain within prescribed geographical boundaries and notify
the court or the probation counselor prior to any change in the
offender's address, educational program, or employment;
(iv) Report to the prosecutor and the probation counselor prior to
any change in a sex offender treatment provider. This change shall
have prior approval by the court;
(v) Report as directed to the court and a probation counselor;
(vi) Pay all court-ordered legal financial obligations, perform
community restitution, or any combination thereof;
(vii) Make restitution to the victim for the cost of any counseling
reasonably related to the offense;
(viii) Comply with the conditions of any court-ordered probation
bond; or
(ix) The court shall order that the offender may not attend the
public or approved private elementary, middle, or high school attended
by the victim or the victim's siblings. The parents or legal guardians
of the offender are responsible for transportation or other costs
associated with the offender's change of school that would otherwise be
paid by the school district. The court shall send notice of the
disposition and restriction on attending the same school as the victim
or victim's siblings to the public or approved private school the
juvenile will attend, if known, or if unknown, to the approved private
schools and the public school district board of directors of the
district in which the juvenile resides or intends to reside. This
notice must be sent at the earliest possible date but not later than
ten calendar days after entry of the disposition.
The sex offender treatment provider shall submit quarterly reports
on the respondent's progress in treatment to the court and the parties.
The reports shall reference the treatment plan and include at a minimum
the following: Dates of attendance, respondent's compliance with
requirements, treatment activities, the respondent's relative progress
in treatment, and any other material specified by the court at the time
of the disposition.
At the time of the disposition, the court may set treatment review
hearings as the court considers appropriate.
Except as provided in this subsection (3), after July 1, 1991,
examinations and treatment ordered pursuant to this subsection shall
only be conducted by sex offender treatment providers certified by the
department of health pursuant to chapter 18.155 RCW. A sex offender
therapist who examines or treats a juvenile sex offender pursuant to
this subsection does not have to be certified by the department of
health pursuant to chapter 18.155 RCW if the court finds that: (A) The
offender has already moved to another state or plans to move to another
state for reasons other than circumventing the certification
requirements; (B) no certified providers are available for treatment
within a reasonable geographical distance of the offender's home; and
(C) the evaluation and treatment plan comply with this subsection (3)
and the rules adopted by the department of health.
If the offender violates any condition of the disposition or the
court finds that the respondent is failing to make satisfactory
progress in treatment, the court may revoke the suspension and order
execution of the disposition or the court may impose a penalty of up to
thirty days' confinement for violating conditions of the disposition.
The court may order both execution of the disposition and up to thirty
days' confinement for the violation of the conditions of the
disposition. The court shall give credit for any confinement time
previously served if that confinement was for the offense for which the
suspension is being revoked.
For purposes of this section, "victim" means any person who has
sustained emotional, psychological, physical, or financial injury to
person or property as a direct result of the crime charged. "Victim"
may also include a known parent or guardian of a victim who is a minor
child unless the parent or guardian is the perpetrator of the offense.
A disposition entered under this subsection (3) is not appealable
under RCW 13.40.230.
(4) If the juvenile offender is subject to a standard range
disposition of local sanctions or 15 to 36 weeks of confinement and has
not committed an A- or B+ offense, the court may impose the disposition
alternative under RCW 13.40.165.
(5) RCW 13.40.193 shall govern the disposition of any juvenile
adjudicated of possessing a firearm in violation of RCW
9.41.040(((1)(b))) (2)(a)(iii) or any crime in which a special finding
is entered that the juvenile was armed with a firearm.
(6) Whenever a juvenile offender is entitled to credit for time
spent in detention prior to a dispositional order, the dispositional
order shall specifically state the number of days of credit for time
served.
(7) Except as provided under subsection (3) or (4) of this section
or RCW 13.40.127, the court shall not suspend or defer the imposition
or the execution of the disposition.
(8) In no case shall the term of confinement imposed by the court
at disposition exceed that to which an adult could be subjected for the
same offense.
Sec. 100 RCW 13.40.193 and 1997 c 338 s 30 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) If a respondent is found to have been in possession of a
firearm in violation of RCW 9.41.040(((1)(b))) (2)(a)(iii), the court
shall impose a minimum disposition of ten days of confinement. If the
offender's standard range of disposition for the offense as indicated
in RCW 13.40.0357 is more than thirty days of confinement, the court
shall commit the offender to the department for the standard range
disposition. The offender shall not be released until the offender has
served a minimum of ten days in confinement.
(2) If the court finds that the respondent or an accomplice was
armed with a firearm, the court shall determine the standard range
disposition for the offense pursuant to RCW 13.40.160. If the
offender or an accomplice was armed with a firearm when the offender
committed any felony other than possession of a machine gun, possession
of a stolen firearm, drive-by shooting, theft of a firearm, unlawful
possession of a firearm in the first and second degree, or use of a
machine gun in a felony, the following periods of total confinement
must be added to the sentence: For a class A felony, six months; for
a class B felony, four months; and for a class C felony, two months.
The additional time shall be imposed regardless of the offense's
juvenile disposition offense category as designated in RCW 13.40.0357.
(3) When a disposition under this section would effectuate a
manifest injustice, the court may impose another disposition. When a
judge finds a manifest injustice and imposes a disposition of
confinement exceeding thirty days, the court shall commit the juvenile
to a maximum term, and the provisions of RCW 13.40.030(2) shall be used
to determine the range. When a judge finds a manifest injustice and
imposes a disposition of confinement less than thirty days, the
disposition shall be comprised of confinement or community supervision
or both.
(4) Any term of confinement ordered pursuant to this section shall
run consecutively to any term of confinement imposed in the same
disposition for other offenses.
Sec. 101 RCW 13.40.265 and 1997 c 338 s 37 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1)(a) If a juvenile thirteen years of age or older is found by
juvenile court to have committed an offense while armed with a firearm
or an offense that is a violation of RCW 9.41.040(((1)(b))) (2)(a)(iii)
or chapter 66.44, 69.41, 69.50, or 69.52 RCW, the court shall notify
the department of licensing within twenty-four hours after entry of the
judgment.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in (c) of this subsection, upon
petition of a juvenile who has been found by the court to have
committed an offense that is a violation of chapter 66.44, 69.41,
69.50, or 69.52 RCW, the court may at any time the court deems
appropriate notify the department of licensing that the juvenile's
driving privileges should be reinstated.
(c) If the offense is the juvenile's first violation of chapter
66.44, 69.41, 69.50, or 69.52 RCW, the juvenile may not petition the
court for reinstatement of the juvenile's privilege to drive revoked
pursuant to RCW 46.20.265 until ninety days after the date the juvenile
turns sixteen or ninety days after the judgment was entered, whichever
is later. If the offense is the juvenile's second or subsequent
violation of chapter 66.44, 69.41, 69.50, or 69.52 RCW, the juvenile
may not petition the court for reinstatement of the juvenile's
privilege to drive revoked pursuant to RCW 46.20.265 until the date the
juvenile turns seventeen or one year after the date judgment was
entered, whichever is later.
(2)(a) If a juvenile enters into a diversion agreement with a
diversion unit pursuant to RCW 13.40.080 concerning an offense that is
a violation of chapter 66.44, 69.41, 69.50, or 69.52 RCW, the diversion
unit shall notify the department of licensing within twenty-four hours
after the diversion agreement is signed.
(b) If a diversion unit has notified the department pursuant to (a)
of this subsection, the diversion unit shall notify the department of
licensing when the juvenile has completed the agreement.
Sec. 102 RCW 14.20.020 and 1993 c 208 s 2 are each amended to
read as follows:
(1) It is unlawful for a person to act as an aircraft dealer
without a currently valid aircraft dealer's license issued under this
chapter.
(2)(a) Except as provided in (b) of this subsection, a person
acting as an aircraft dealer without a currently issued aircraft

either a fine of not more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment
for not more than ninety days, or both.
(b) A person convicted on a second or subsequent conviction within
a five-year period is guilty of a gross misdemeanor and shall be
punished by either a fine of not more than five thousand dollars or by

section, or as a condition to the suspension of a sentence that may be
imposed under this section, the court in its discretion may prohibit

and desist order to any person whom the secretary has reason to believe
is engaged in the unlicensed practice of a profession or business for
which a license is required by the chapters specified in RCW
18.130.040. The person to whom such notice is issued may request an
adjudicative proceeding to contest the charges. The request for
hearing must be filed within twenty days after service of the notice of
intention to issue a cease and desist order. The failure to request a
hearing constitutes a default, whereupon the secretary may enter a
permanent cease and desist order, which may include a civil fine. All
proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with chapter 34.05 RCW.
(3) If the secretary makes a final determination that a person has
engaged or is engaging in unlicensed practice, the secretary may issue

order, the secretary may issue a temporary cease and desist order. The
person receiving a temporary cease and desist order shall be provided
an opportunity for a prompt hearing. The temporary cease and desist
order shall remain in effect until further order of the secretary. The
failure to request a prompt or regularly scheduled hearing constitutes
a default, whereupon the secretary may enter a permanent cease and
desist order, which may include a civil fine.
(5) Neither the issuance of a cease and desist order nor payment of
a civil fine shall relieve the person so practicing or operating a
business without a license from criminal prosecution therefor, but the
remedy of a cease and desist order or civil fine shall be in addition
to any criminal liability. The cease and desist order is conclusive
proof of unlicensed practice and may be enforced under RCW 7.21.060.

without a license from engaging in such practice or operating such

remedy by injunction shall be in addition to any criminal liability.

this section or any other prosecution under this chapter that persons
under the age of eighteen were not present in the school, the school
bus, the public park, the public housing project designated by a local

conduct did not involve delivering, manufacturing, selling, or
possessing with the intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver any
controlled substance in RCW 69.50.401(((a))) for profit. The

authority as a drug-free zone, public transit vehicle stop shelter, or
a civic center designated as a drug-free zone by a local governing
authority, or a true copy of such a map, shall under proper
authentication, be admissible and shall constitute prima facie evidence
of the location and boundaries of those areas if the governing body of
the municipality, school district, county, or transit authority has
adopted a resolution or ordinance approving the map as the official
location and record of the location and boundaries of the area on or
within one thousand feet of the school, school bus route stop, public
park, public housing project designated by a local governing authority

filed with the clerk of the municipality or county, and shall be
maintained as an official record of the municipality or county. This
section shall not be construed as precluding the prosecution from
introducing or relying upon any other evidence or testimony to
establish any element of the offense. This section shall not be
construed as precluding the use or admissibility of any map or diagram
other than the one which has been approved by the governing body of a
municipality, school district, county, transit authority, or public
housing authority if the map or diagram is otherwise admissible under
court rule.

conveyed until ninety days after seizure or until a judgment of
forfeiture is entered, whichever is later: PROVIDED, That real
property seized under this section may be transferred or conveyed to
any person or entity who acquires title by foreclosure or deed in lieu

substituted service absent an affidavit stating that a good faith
effort has been made to ascertain if the defaulted party is
incarcerated within the state, and that there is no present basis to
believe that the party is incarcerated within the state. Notice of
seizure in the case of property subject to a security interest that has
been perfected by filing a financing statement in accordance with

shown on the financing statement or the certificate of title. The

agency in writing of the person's claim of ownership or right to
possession of items specified in subsection (((a)(4), (a)(7), or
(a)(8))) (1)(d), (g), or (h) of this section within forty-five days of
the seizure in the case of personal property and ninety days in the

committed a violation giving rise to seizure of the real property may
not be forfeited if the person did not participate in the violation.

agency in writing of the person's claim of ownership or right to
possession of items specified in subsection (((a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(4),

(h) of this section within forty-five days of the seizure in the case
of personal property and ninety days in the case of real property, the
person or persons shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be
heard as to the claim or right. The hearing shall be before the chief
law enforcement officer of the seizing agency or the chief law
enforcement officer's designee, except where the seizing agency is a
state agency as defined in RCW 34.12.020(4), the hearing shall be
before the chief law enforcement officer of the seizing agency or an
administrative law judge appointed under chapter 34.12 RCW, except that
any person asserting a claim or right may remove the matter to a court
of competent jurisdiction. Removal of any matter involving personal
property may only be accomplished according to the rules of civil
procedure. The person seeking removal of the matter must serve process
against the state, county, political subdivision, or municipality that
operates the seizing agency, and any other party of interest, in
accordance with RCW 4.28.080 or 4.92.020, within forty-five days after
the person seeking removal has notified the seizing law enforcement
agency of the person's claim of ownership or right to possession. The
court to which the matter is to be removed shall be the district court
when the aggregate value of personal property is within the
jurisdictional limit set forth in RCW 3.66.020. A hearing before the
seizing agency and any appeal therefrom shall be under Title 34 RCW.
In all cases, the burden of proof is upon the law enforcement agency to
establish, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the property is
subject to forfeiture.
The seizing law enforcement agency shall promptly return the
article or articles to the claimant upon a determination by the
administrative law judge or court that the claimant is the present
lawful owner or is lawfully entitled to possession thereof of items
specified in subsection (((a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(4), (a)(5), (a)(6),
(a)(7), or (a)(8))) (1)(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (h) of this
section.

where the claimant substantially prevails, the claimant is entitled to
reasonable attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the claimant. In
addition, in a court hearing between two or more claimants to the
article or articles involved, the prevailing party is entitled to a
judgment for costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
(((g))) (7) When property is forfeited under this chapter the board
or seizing law enforcement agency may:

law enforcement agency of this state release such property to such
agency for the exclusive use of enforcing the provisions of this
chapter;

disposition.
(((h)(1))) (8)(a) When property is forfeited, the seizing agency
shall keep a record indicating the identity of the prior owner, if

the value of the property at the time of seizure, and the amount of
proceeds realized from disposition of the property.
(((2))) (b) Each seizing agency shall retain records of forfeited
property for at least seven years.
(((3))) (c) Each seizing agency shall file a report including a
copy of the records of forfeited property with the state treasurer each
calendar quarter.

forfeited property that is still being held for use as evidence during
the investigation or prosecution of a case or during the appeal from a
conviction.
(((i)(1))) (9)(a) By January 31st of each year, each seizing agency
shall remit to the state treasurer an amount equal to ten percent of
the net proceeds of any property forfeited during the preceding
calendar year. Money remitted shall be deposited in the violence
reduction and drug enforcement account under RCW 69.50.520.
(((2))) (b) The net proceeds of forfeited property is the value of
the forfeitable interest in the property after deducting the cost of
satisfying any bona fide security interest to which the property is
subject at the time of seizure; and in the case of sold property, after
deducting the cost of sale, including reasonable fees or commissions
paid to independent selling agents, and the cost of any valid
landlord's claim for damages under subsection (((o))) (15) of this
section.
(((3))) (c) The value of sold forfeited property is the sale price.
The value of retained forfeited property is the fair market value of
the property at the time of seizure, determined when possible by
reference to an applicable commonly used index, such as the index used
by the department of licensing for valuation of motor vehicles. A
seizing agency may use, but need not use, an independent qualified
appraiser to determine the value of retained property. If an appraiser
is used, the value of the property appraised is net of the cost of the
appraisal. The value of destroyed property and retained firearms or
illegal property is zero.
(((j))) (10) Forfeited property and net proceeds not required to be
paid to the state treasurer shall be retained by the seizing law
enforcement agency exclusively for the expansion and improvement of
controlled substances related law enforcement activity. Money retained
under this section may not be used to supplant preexisting funding
sources.

IV, and V that are possessed, transferred, sold, or offered for sale in
violation of this chapter are contraband and shall be seized and
summarily forfeited to the state. Controlled substances listed in
Schedule I, II, III, IV, and V, which are seized or come into the
possession of the board, the owners of which are unknown, are
contraband and shall be summarily forfeited to the board.
(((l))) (12) Species of plants from which controlled substances in
Schedules I and II may be derived which have been planted or cultivated
in violation of this chapter, or of which the owners or cultivators are
unknown, or which are wild growths, may be seized and summarily
forfeited to the board.
(((m))) (13) The failure, upon demand by a board inspector or law
enforcement officer, of the person in occupancy or in control of land
or premises upon which the species of plants are growing or being
stored to produce an appropriate registration or proof that he or she
is the holder thereof constitutes authority for the seizure and
forfeiture of the plants.
(((n))) (14) Upon the entry of an order of forfeiture of real
property, the court shall forward a copy of the order to the assessor
of the county in which the property is located. Orders for the
forfeiture of real property shall be entered by the superior court,
subject to court rules. Such an order shall be filed by the seizing
agency in the county auditor's records in the county in which the real
property is located.
(((o))) (15) A landlord may assert a claim against proceeds from
the sale of assets seized and forfeited under subsection (((g)(2)))
(7)(b) of this section, only if:
(((1))) (a) A law enforcement officer, while acting in his or her
official capacity, directly caused damage to the complaining landlord's
property while executing a search of a tenant's residence; and
(((2))) (b) The landlord has applied any funds remaining in the
tenant's deposit, to which the landlord has a right under chapter 59.18
RCW, to cover the damage directly caused by a law enforcement officer

are insufficient to satisfy the damage directly caused by a law
enforcement officer, may the landlord seek compensation for the damage
by filing a claim against the governmental entity under whose authority
the law enforcement agency operates within thirty days after the
search;
(ii) Only if the governmental entity denies or fails to respond to
the landlord's claim within sixty days of the date of filing, may the
landlord collect damages under this subsection by filing within thirty
days of denial or the expiration of the sixty-day period, whichever
occurs first, a claim with the seizing law enforcement agency. The
seizing law enforcement agency must notify the landlord of the status
of the claim by the end of the thirty-day period. Nothing in this
section requires the claim to be paid by the end of the sixty-day or
thirty-day period.
(((3))) (c) For any claim filed under (((2))) (b) of this
subsection, the law enforcement agency shall pay the claim unless the
agency provides substantial proof that the landlord either:
(i) Knew or consented to actions of the tenant in violation of this
chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW; or
(ii) Failed to respond to a notification of the illegal activity,
provided by a law enforcement agency under RCW 59.18.075, within seven
days of receipt of notification of the illegal activity.
(((p))) (16) The landlord's claim for damages under subsection
(((o))) (15) of this section may not include a claim for loss of
business and is limited to:
(((1))) (a) Damage to tangible property and clean-up costs;
(((2))) (b) The lesser of the cost of repair or fair market value
of the damage directly caused by a law enforcement officer;

enforcement agency satisfies any bona fide security interest in the
tenant's property and costs related to sale of the tenant's property as
provided by subsection (((i)(2))) (9)(b) of this section.
(((q))) (17) Subsections (((o) and (p))) (15) and (16) of this
section do not limit any other rights a landlord may have against a
tenant to collect for damages. However, if a law enforcement agency
satisfies a landlord's claim under subsection (((o))) (15) of this
section, the rights the landlord has against the tenant for damages
directly caused by a law enforcement officer under the terms of the
landlord and tenant's contract are subrogated to the law enforcement
agency.

RCW 82.04.470 or a copy of a direct pay permit issued under RCW
82.32.087.
(4) The amount of tax, until paid by the buyer to the seller or to
the department, shall constitute a debt from the buyer to the seller
and any seller who fails or refuses to collect the tax as required with
intent to violate the provisions of this chapter or to gain some
advantage or benefit, either direct or indirect, and any buyer who
refuses to pay any tax due under this chapter ((shall be)) is guilty of
a misdemeanor.
(5) The tax required by this chapter to be collected by the seller

the selling price.
(6) Where a buyer has failed to pay to the seller the tax imposed
by this chapter and the seller has not paid the amount of the tax to

collected by the department; and all of the provisions of chapter 82.32
RCW, including those relative to interest and penalties, shall apply in
addition; and, for the sole purpose of applying the various provisions

Sec. 403 RCW 82.44.120 and 1993 c 307 s 3 are each amended to

(1) Whenever any person has paid a motor vehicle license fee, and

collect such additional amount as will constitute full payment of the
tax and any penalties or interest at the rate specified in RCW
82.32.050.

submitted to the electors of ((said)) the district possessing the
qualifications prescribed by law the question of whether or not the
bonds of ((said)) the district in the amount and of the maturities
determined by the board of directors shall be issued. Bonds issued
under the provisions of this act shall be serial bonds payable in legal
currency of the United States in such series and amounts as shall be
determined and declared by the board of directors in the resolution
calling the election: PROVIDED, That the first series shall mature not
later than ten years and the last series not later than forty years
from the date thereof: PROVIDED FURTHER, That bonds, authorized by a
special election held in the district under the provisions of a former
statute, which has subsequent to ((said)) the authorization been
amended, but not issued prior to the amendment of ((said)) the former
statute, may be issued in the form provided in ((said)) the former
statute, and any such bonds heretofore or hereafter so issued and sold
are hereby confirmed and validated.
Notice of such bond election must be given by publication of such
notice in some newspaper published in the county where the office of
the board of directors of such district is required to be kept, once a
week for at least two weeks (three times). Such notices must specify
the time of holding the election, and the amount and maturities of
bonds proposed to be issued; and ((said)) the election must be held and
the results thereof determined and declared in all respects as nearly
as practicable in conformity with the provisions of law governing the
election of the district officers: PROVIDED, That no informality in
conducting such election shall invalidate the same, if the election
shall have been otherwise fairly conducted. At such election the
ballots shall contain the words "Bonds Yes" and "Bonds No," or words
equivalent thereto. If a majority of the votes cast are cast "Bonds
Yes," the board of directors shall thereupon have authority to cause
bonds in ((said)) such amount and maturities to be issued. If the
majority of the votes cast at any bond election are "Bonds No," the
result of such election shall be so declared and entered of record; but
if contract is made or is to be made with the United States as in RCW
87.03.140 provided, and bonds are not to be deposited with the United
States in connection with such contract, the question submitted at such
special election shall be whether contract shall be entered into with
the United States. The notice of election shall state under the terms
of what act or acts of congress contract is proposed to be made, and
the maximum amount of money payable to the United States for
construction purposes exclusive of penalties and interest. The ballots
for such election shall contain the words "Contract with the United
States Yes" and "Contract with the United States No," or words
equivalent thereto. And whenever thereafter ((said)) the board, in its
judgment, deems it for the best interest of the district that the
question of issuance of bonds for ((said)) such amount, or any amount,
or the question of entering into a contract with the United States,
shall be submitted to ((said)) the electors, it shall so declare, by
resolution recorded in its minutes, and may thereupon submit such
question to ((said)) the electors in the same manner and with like
effect as at such previous election.
(2) All bonds issued under this act shall bear interest at such
rate or rates as the board of directors may determine, payable
semiannually on the first day of January and of July of each year. The
principal and interest shall be payable at the office of the county
treasurer of the county in which the office of the board of directors
is situated, or if the board of directors shall so determine at the

place of payment to be designated in the bond. The bonds may be in
such denominations as the board of directors may in its discretion
determine, except that bonds other than bond number one of any issue
shall be in a denomination that is a multiple of one hundred dollars.
Such bonds may be in any form, including bearer bonds or registered
bonds as provided in RCW 39.46.030. ((Said)) The bonds shall be
negotiable in form, signed by the president and secretary, and the seal
of the district shall be affixed thereto. The printed, engraved, or
lithographed facsimile signatures of the president and secretary of the
district's board of directors shall be sufficient signatures on the

bonds may be used only after the filing, by the officer whose facsimile
signature is to be used, with the secretary of state of his or her
manual signature certified by him or her under oath, whereupon that
officer's facsimile signature has the same legal effect as his or her
manual signature: PROVIDED, FURTHER, That either the president of the
board of directors' or the secretary's signature on the bonds shall be
manually subscribed: AND PROVIDED FURTHER, That whenever such
facsimile reproduction of the signature of any officer is used in place
of the manual signature of such officer, the district's board of
directors shall specify in a written order or requisition to the
printer, engraver, or lithographer the number of bonds or any coupons
upon which such facsimile signature is to be printed, engraved, or
lithographed and the manner of numbering the bonds or any coupons upon
which such signature shall be placed. Within ninety days after the
completion of the printing, engraving, or lithographing of such bonds
or any coupons, the plate or plates used for the purpose of affixing
the facsimile signature shall be destroyed, and it shall be the duty of
the district's board of directors, within ninety days after receipt of
the completed bonds or any coupons, to ascertain that such plate or
plates have been destroyed. Every printer, engraver, or lithographer
who, with the intent to defraud, prints, engraves, or lithographs a
facsimile signature upon any bond or any coupon without written order
of the district's board of directors, or fails to destroy such plate or
plates containing the facsimile signature upon direction of such
issuing authority, ((shall be)) is guilty of a class B felony
punishable according to chapter 9A.20 RCW.
(3) Whenever the electors shall vote to authorize the issuance of
bonds of the district such authorization shall nullify and cancel all
unsold bonds previously authorized, and if the question is submitted to
and carried by the electors at the bond election, any bond issue may be
exchanged in whole or in part, at par, for any or all of a valid
outstanding bond issue of the district when mutually agreeable to the
owner or owners thereof and the district, and the amount of ((said))
the last bond issue in excess, if any, of that required for exchange
purposes, may be sold as in the case of an original issue. The bonds
of any issue authorized to be exchanged in whole or in part for
outstanding bonds shall state on their face the amount of such issue so
exchanged, and shall contain a certificate of the treasurer of the
district as to the amount of the bonds exchanged, and that ((said)) the
outstanding bonds have been surrendered and canceled: PROVIDED
FURTHER, That where bonds have been authorized and unsold, the board of
directors may submit to the qualified voters of the district the
question of canceling ((said)) the previous authorization, which
question shall be submitted upon the same notice and under the same
regulations as govern the submission of the original question of
authorizing a bond issue. At such election the ballots shall contain
the words "Cancellation Yes," and "Cancellation No," or words
equivalent thereto. If at such election a majority of the votes
((shall be)) are "Cancellation Yes," the ((said)) issue shall be
thereby canceled and no bonds may be issued thereunder. If the
majority of ((said)) ballots ((shall be)) are "Cancellation No,"
((said)) the original authorization shall continue in force with like
effect as though ((said)) the cancellation election had not been held:
PROVIDED, That bonds deposited with the United States in payment or in
pledge may call for the payment of such interest at such rate or rates,
may be of such denominations, and call for the repayment of the
principal at such times as may be agreed upon between the board and the
secretary of the interior.
(4) Each issue shall be numbered consecutively as issued, and the
bonds of each issue shall be numbered consecutively and bear date at
the time of their issue. The bonds may be in any form, including
bearer bonds or registered bonds as provided in RCW 39.46.030.
((Said)) The bonds shall express upon their face that they were issued
by authority of this act, stating its title and date of approval, and
shall also state the number of issue of which such bonds are a part.
In case the money received by the sale of all bonds issued be
insufficient for the completion of plans of the canals and works
adopted, and additional bonds be not voted, or a contract calling for
additional payment to the United States be not authorized and made, as
the case may be, it shall be the duty of the board of directors to
provide for the completion of ((said)) the plans by levy of assessments
therefor. It shall be lawful for any irrigation districts which have
heretofore issued and sold bonds under the law then in force, to issue
in place thereof an amount of bonds not in excess of such previous
issue, and to sell the same, or any part thereof, as hereinafter
provided, or exchange the same, or any part thereof, with the owners of
such previously issued bonds which may be outstanding, upon such terms
as may be agreed upon between the board of directors of the district
and the holders of such outstanding bonds: PROVIDED, That the question
of such reissue of bonds shall have been previously voted upon
favorably by the legally qualified electors of such district, in the
same manner as required for the issue of original bonds, and the
((said)) board shall not exchange any such bonds for a less amount in
par value of the bonds received; all of such old issue in place of
which new bonds are issued shall be destroyed whenever lawfully in
possession of ((said)) the board. Bonds issued under the provisions of
this section may, when so authorized by the electors, include a sum
sufficient to pay the interest thereon for a period not exceeding the
first four years. Whenever an issue of bonds shall have been
authorized pursuant to law, and any of the earlier series shall have
been sold, and the later series, or a portion thereof, remain unsold,
the directors may sell such later series pursuant to law, or such
portion thereof as shall be necessary to pay the earlier series, or
((said)) the directors may exchange ((said)) the later series for the
earlier series at not less than the par value thereof, ((said)) the
sale or exchange to be made not more than six months before the
maturity of ((said)) the earlier series and upon ((said)) the exchange
being made the maturing bonds shall be disposed of as hereinbefore
provided in the case of bonds authorized to be exchanged in whole or in
part for outstanding bonds.
(5) Notwithstanding subsections (1) through (4) of this section,
such bonds may be issued and sold in accordance with chapter 39.46 RCW.

board shall enter an order establishing the boundaries of the ((said))
improvement district and shall adopt plans for the proposed improvement
and determine the number of annual installments not exceeding fifty in
which the cost of ((said)) the improvement shall be paid. The cost of
((said)) the improvement shall be provided for by the issuance of local
improvement district bonds of the district from time to time, therefor,
either directly for the payment of the labor and material or for the
securing of funds for such purpose, or by the irrigation district
entering into a contract with the United States or the state of
Washington, or both, to repay the cost of ((said)) the improvement.
((Said)) The bonds shall bear interest at a rate or rates determined by
the board, payable semiannually, and shall state upon their face that
they are issued as bonds of the irrigation district; that all lands
within ((said)) the local improvement district shall be primarily
liable to assessment for the principal and interest of ((said)) the
bonds and that ((said)) the bonds are also a general obligation of the
((said)) district. The bonds may be in such denominations as the board
of directors may in its discretion determine, except that bonds other
than bond number one of any issue shall be in a denomination that is a
multiple of one hundred dollars, and no bond shall be sold for less
than par. Any contract entered into for ((said)) the local improvement
by the district with the United States or the state of Washington, or
both although all the lands within ((said)) the local improvement
district shall be primarily liable to assessment for the principal and
interest thereon, shall be a general obligation of the irrigation
district. Such bonds may be in any form, including bearer bonds or
registered bonds as provided in RCW 39.46.030.
(2) No election shall be necessary to authorize the issuance of
such local improvement bonds or the entering into of such a contract.
Such bonds, when issued, shall be signed by the president and secretary
of the irrigation district with the seal of ((said)) the district
affixed. The printed, engraved, or lithographed facsimile signatures
of the president and secretary of the district's board of directors
shall be sufficient signatures on the bonds or any coupons: PROVIDED,
That such facsimile signatures on the bonds may be used only after the
filing, by the officer whose facsimile signature is to be used, with
the secretary of state of his or her manual signature certified by him
or her under oath, whereupon that officer's facsimile signature has the
same legal effect as his or her manual signature: PROVIDED, FURTHER,
That either the president of the board of directors' or the secretary's
signature on the bonds shall be manually subscribed: AND PROVIDED
FURTHER, That whenever such facsimile reproduction of the signature of
any officer is used in place of the manual signature of such officer,
the district's board of directors shall specify in a written order or
requisition to the printer, engraver, or lithographer the number of
bonds or any coupons upon which such facsimile signature is to be
printed, engraved, or lithographed and the manner of numbering the
bonds or any coupons upon which such signature shall be placed. Within
ninety days after the completion of the printing, engraving, or
lithographing of such bonds or any coupons, the plate or plates used
for the purpose of affixing the facsimile signature shall be destroyed,
and it shall be the duty of the district's board of directors, within
ninety days after receipt of the completed bonds or any coupons, to
ascertain that such plate or plates have been destroyed. Every
printer, engraver, or lithographer who, with the intent to defraud,
prints, engraves, or lithographs a facsimile signature upon any bond or
coupon without written order of the district's board of directors, or
fails to destroy such plate or plates containing the facsimile
signature upon direction of such issuing authority, ((shall be)) is
guilty of a class B felony punishable according to chapter 9A.20 RCW.
(3) The proceeds from the sale of such bonds shall be deposited
with the treasurer of the district, who shall place them in a special
fund designated "Construction fund of local improvement district number
. . . . . ."
(4) Whenever such improvement district has been organized, the
boundaries thereof may be enlarged to include other lands which can be
served or will be benefited by the proposed improvement upon petition
of the owners thereof and the consent of the United States or the state
of Washington, or both, in the event the irrigation district has
contracted with the United States or the state of Washington, or both,
to repay the cost of the improvement: PROVIDED, That at such time the
lands so included shall pay their equitable proportion upon the basis
of benefits of the improvement theretofore made by the ((said)) local
improvement district and shall be liable for the indebtedness of the
((said)) local improvement district in the same proportion and same
manner and subject to assessment as if ((said)) the lands had been
incorporated in ((said)) the improvement district at the beginning of
its organization.
