By Representative Hansen

NOT CONSIDERED 01/02/2024

On page 2, beginning on line 17, after "agency"" strike all material through "state" on line 21 and insert "means any agency, department, or division of a municipal corporation, political subdivision, or other unit of local government of this state, having as its primary function the detection and apprehension of persons committing infractions or violating the traffic or criminal laws in general, or having as one of its functions the apprehension or detection of persons committing infractions or violating the traffic or criminal laws relating to limited subject areas. "Law enforcement agency" does not include the Washington state patrol or any other agency, department, or division of state government"

EFFECT:   Strikes the existing definition of "law enforcement agency" and replaces it with a new definition limited to local agencies, departments, and divisions with law enforcement functions. Expressly excludes from the definition of “law enforcement agency” the Washington State Patrol and other agencies, departments, or divisions of state government.
