Bill > SB6193

This bill amends existing Washington state law concerning unlawful firearm possession by juveniles. Specifically, it modifies RCW 9.41.040 to define unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree for a juvenile as owning, accessing, or possessing any firearm after having previously been adjudicated, convicted, or found not guilty by reason of insanity for a specific offense or a comparable out-of-state offense. The bill also updates RCW 13.40.0357, which outlines juvenile disposition categories and sentencing standards, by adding a new offense category for "Possession of Firearms by Minor (with prior)" and assigning it a B+ offense level, indicating a more serious offense that may lead to harsher penalties. This change aims to address penalties associated with juveniles possessing firearms, particularly those with prior offenses.
