Not law yet. Pending legislation.
Sen. Marko Liias et al.
Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
Now: not law; live permit-to-purchase is HB 1163 with a 2027 core gate. If this print ever chapters separately, re-read it against HB 1163 before treating it as a second duty.
Defender utility
Washington defenders: treat this as a parked Senate twin, not present law. Permit-to-purchase charging and challenge work belongs on the HB 1163 card. Portable for multi-state permit/waiting-period briefing next to OR Measure 114 — still Washington elements, and still not a California charge.
Who this is for. WA PDs and dealers — pending Senate twin of already-chaptered HB 1163; do not charge from this print; not a California charge.
