Bill > SB5868

This bill, by amending RCW 2.08.063, proposes to increase the number of superior court judges in two Washington counties: Skagit County will gain one additional judge, bringing its total to five, and Yakima County will also gain one additional judge, bringing its total to nine. The RCW (Revised Code of Washington) is a compilation of the permanent laws of Washington State, and this amendment directly impacts the staffing of the superior courts, which are the state's trial courts of general jurisdiction, by adding judicial resources to handle caseloads in these specific counties.
