On page 11, after line 7, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 59.18 RCW to read as follows:

The imposition of controls on cause for eviction, termination, or the refusal to continue a residential tenancy is of statewide significance and is preempted by the state. No city, town, or county may enact, maintain, or enforce ordinances or other provisions which regulate cause for eviction, termination, or the refusal to continue residential tenancies that are governed by this chapter 59.18 RCW and any such ordinances or other provisions that are in effect on the effective date of this act shall be as of that date null and void and of no effect."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly. Correct the title.
