2020 House Bill 2623: Prohibiting the possession of firearms by persons convicted of certain criminal offenses
Introduced by Rep. Amy Walen (Kirkland) (D) on January 16, 2020
Referred to the House Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee on January 16, 2020
Amendment offered by Rep. Amy Walen (Kirkland) (D) on February 18, 2020
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").
The amendment passed by voice vote in the House on February 18, 2020
