2623 AMH WALE ADAM 218

  

HB 2623 - H AMD 1252

By Representative Walen

ADOPTED 02/18/2020

On page 2, line 5, after "another" insert "or by one intimate partner against another"

On page 2, line 13, after "another" insert "or by one intimate partner against another"

On page 2, line 19, after "9.41.230);" strike "and" and insert "or"

EFFECT:   Updates references to "family or household member" to also reference "intimate partner" in conformance with changes made in 2019 in E2SHB 1517, which modified the definition of domestic violence by splitting it into two categories--crimes committed by a "family or household member" against another and those committed by an "intimate partner" against another (together these two terms cover the same qualifying relationships that were previously covered under the term "family or household member").

Replaces an "and" with an "or" to clarify that the offense of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm applies based on a prior conviction for either Animal Cruelty in the second degree or Unlawful Aiming/Discharge of a Firearm or Dangerous Weapon.
