Amend Federal Way Revised Code(FWRC)Title 6,"Public Safety and Welfare"
Ms. Pearsall said that with the passing of Initiative 502(1-502)the legal department had to rush in a Ordinance that
allowed the adoption of the Federal Way Code and would allow officers to write infractions for public use of
marijuana. When 1-502 was passed,the officers did not have an infraction code to reference,because the legislation
was not adopted until much later. The Federal Way Code is being used to write infractions. Now that the state law is
in place,it is preferred to refer to the state law so that if it is amended at any point in the future,they do not have to
come back to make ours match. It was also discovered that Chapter 9A_80 and Chapter 42.20 of the RCW there
were some misdemeanors that were not referenced in the FWRC.Committee member Burbidge moved to forward
