HB 1562, previously discussed in this blog post has been officially codified as RCW 9.41.041. As previously discussed on this blog, HB 1562 made significant changes to the process for restoring firearm rights in Washington state.
Although HB 1562 took effect on 7/23/23, the session law hadn’t actually been codified in the Revised Code of Washington until just recently. It is now codified as RCW 9.41.041.
Moving forward, instead of citing HB 1562 on court paperwork, RCW 9.41.041 should now be cited instead.
