13 NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. It is the intent of the legislature to
14 make technical changes to replace the term "marijuana" with
15 "cannabis" throughout the Revised Code of Washington. The legislature
16 finds that the use of the term "marijuana" in the United States has
17 discriminatory origins and should be replaced with the more
18 scientifically accurate term "cannabis." This act is technical in
19 nature and no substantive legal changes are intended or implied.
20 Sec. 2. RCW 9.01.210 and 2018 c 68 s 1 are each amended to read
21 as follows:
22 (1) A person or entity that receives deposits, extends credit,
23 conducts funds transfers, transports cash or financial instruments on
24 behalf of a financial institution, or provides other financial
25 services for a ((marijuana)) cannabis producer, ((marijuana))
26 cannabis processor, or ((marijuana)) cannabis retailer authorized
27 under chapter 69.50 RCW or for a qualifying patient, health care
28 professional, or designated provider authorized under chapter 69.51A
29 RCW, does not commit a crime under any Washington law solely by
30 virtue of receiving deposits, extending credit, conducting funds
31 transfers, transporting cash or other financial instruments, or
32 providing other financial services for the person.
33 (2) For the purposes of this section((, "person)):
34 (a) "Cannabis" has the meaning provided in RCW 69.50.101; and
35 (b) "Person or entity" means a financial institution as defined
36 in RCW 30A.22.040, an armored car service operating under a permit
37 issued by the utilities and transportation commission that has been
p. 2 2SHB 1210.SL
 1 contracted by a financial institution, or a person providing
2 financial services pursuant to a license issued under chapter 18.44,
3 19.230, or 31.04 RCW.
4 (3) A certified public accountant or certified public accounting
5 firm, which practices public accounting as defined in RCW 18.04.025,
6 does not commit a crime solely for providing professional accounting
7 services as specified in RCW 18.04.025 for a ((marijuana)) cannabis
8 producer, ((marijuana)) cannabis processor, or ((marijuana)) cannabis
9 retailer authorized under chapter 69.50 RCW.
10 Sec. 3. RCW 9.94.041 and 2016 c 199 s 1 are each amended to read
11 as follows:
12 (1) Every person serving a sentence in any state correctional
13 institution who, without legal authorization, while in the
14 institution or while being conveyed to or from the institution, or
15 while under the custody or supervision of institution officials,
16 officers, or employees, or while on any premises subject to the
17 control of the institution, knowingly possesses or carries upon his
18 or her person or has under his or her control any narcotic drug or
19 controlled substance, as defined in chapter 69.50 RCW, alcohol,
20 ((marijuana)) cannabis, or other intoxicant, or a cell phone or other
21 form of an electronic telecommunications device, is guilty of a class
22 C felony.
23 (2) Every person confined in a county or local correctional
24 institution who, without legal authorization, while in the
25 institution or while being conveyed to or from the institution, or
26 while under the custody or supervision of institution officials,
27 officers, or employees, or while on any premises subject to the
28 control of the institution, knowingly possesses or has under his or
29 her control any narcotic drug or controlled substance, as defined in
30 chapter 69.50 RCW, alcohol, ((marijuana)) cannabis, or other
31 intoxicant, or a cell phone or other form of an electronic
32 telecommunications device, is guilty of a class C felony.
33 (3) The sentence imposed under this section shall be in addition
34 to any sentence being served.
35 (4) For the purposes of this section, "cannabis" has the meaning
36 provided in RCW 69.50.101.
