On page 1, after line 29 of the striking amendment, insert the following:

"Sec. 2. RCW 19.86.070 and 1961 c 216 § 7 are each amended to read as follows:

The labor of a human being is not a commodity or article of commerce. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to forbid the existence and operation of labor, agricultural, or horticultural organizations, instituted for the purposes of mutual help, and not having capital stock or conducted for profit, or to forbid or restrain individual members of such organizations from lawfully carrying out the legitimate objects thereof.

This section does not prevent the attorney general or any injured person from bringing a civil action, in accordance with this chapter, against any labor organization for engaging in any unfair or deceptive acts or practices prohibited by RCW 19.86.020."

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