Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 82.08 RCW to read as follows:
The tax levied by RCW 82.08.020 does not apply to sales of hands-free equipment for use with a wireless communications device. For the purposes of this section, "hands-free equipment" means a speaker phone, headset, earphone, or earpiece that is designed for use with a wireless communications device.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 82.12 RCW to read as follows:

Correct the title.
