Bill 5112 was heard by the Senate Judiciary Executive Committee this morning. There was no debate. The decision was a unanimous "do pass" recommendation. It goes to the Rules Committee next.

Both bills seem to be going the distance...

x Fingers crossed x


Summary of Bill:
The crime of using a contrivance or device for suppressing the noise of a firearm is amended to exempt the use of a suppressor that is legally registered and possessed in accordance with federal law.

AKA - if you are legal to own the suppressor, you are within your legal rights to use said suppressor as intended within WA State.


Effective Date: The bill takes effect 90 days after adjournment of the session in which the bill is
passed.
