Bill > SB5350

This bill is a legislative measure that repeals several existing laws and sections related to Washington state's firearms background check system. Specifically, the bill eliminates RCW 43.43.580 (which established an automated firearms background check system and associated fees), RCW 43.43.585 (which created a Washington background check advisory board), RCW 43.43.590 (concerning the state firearms background check system account), and RCW 9.41.1135 (which governed firearms sales or transfers using the Washington State Patrol's background check system). The bill also repeals multiple sections from previous legislative acts from 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to these background check provisions. An emergency clause is included, which means the bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of preserving public peace, health, safety, and supporting state government institutions. While the bill does not provide details about why these laws are being repealed, it appears to be a comprehensive removal of existing firearms background check system regulations.
