Proposed WA drug possession law to make it a gross misdemeanor

Details indicate a new drug possession law in Washington state will include a modified gross misdemeanor as a penalty with a maximum of 180 days to 364 days in jail, depending on the circumstances.

The information comes from a document currently being circulated among state lawmakers as they prepare to begin a special in-person session in Olympia tomorrow.

The document compares the original SB 5536 from the Senate, the House version (H1919.E), and the version from a Conference Committee (H1994.4) the House failed to pass during the last day of the regular session.

A Special Session Striker is being presented to lawmakers as a replacement for all those bills.
