Wash. Rev. Code § 59.21 § 59.21.905
Effective date -- 1995 c 122.
Operative Text
This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and shall take effect immediately [April 20, 1995].
Washington's Wash. Rev. Code § 59.21.005 et seq. § 59.21.905 is an effective-date provision declaring that the 1995 legislative act (Chapter 122) took effect immediately upon signing on April 20, 1995, rather than after a standard waiting period. The legislature invoked an emergency clause, citing the need to protect public peace, health, or safety and to support state government operations. This means the substantive provisions of the 1995 act became operative law on that date without delay.
