What are May 2005 changes to the SCOMIS Law Table for DV Order Violations?
The following message was e-mailed to the Washington State County Clerks ListServ May 11, 2005:
The SCOMIS law table has been changed to update and clarify the following subsections of protection/no contact order violation laws:
10.99.040(4)(b) has been end-dated. It was classified as a felony on the law table (court order violation), but it is now a definition of the required wording on the written order.
10.99.040(4)(c) has been end-dated. It was classified as a felony on the law table (court order violation), but it is now a definition requiring a certified copy of the order be provided to the victim.
10.99.040(4)(d) has been end-dated. It was classified on the law table as a definition, but this section no longer exists in the statute.
Note: RCW 10.99.040(4)(a) is still on the law table as a gross misdemeanor. This section states that willful violation of a court order is punishable under RCW 26.50.110â which contains both gross misdemeanor and felony penalties depending on the violation. 26.50.110(2) has been end-dated as a gross misdemeanor (G 10) and re-added as a definition (N 99). It was classified as a gross misdemeanor (no contact order violation), but it is a definition of the arrest procedure.
Note: RCW 26.50.110 section (1) contains the gross misdemeanor order violation. Sections (4) and (5) contain the felony violations. The title of 26.50.110(5) has been changed to Protection Order Viol-Prev Conv.
