Governor Jay Inslee has issued a proclamation which modifies the service requirements and time frames for hearings in a variety of protection order matters. Proclamation of the Governor 20-45 addresses RCW statutes providing protection from harassment, violence, stalking, abuse, intimidation, and other forms of harm. The changes will remain in effect until May 10, 2020, or longer if the state of emergency proclamation is extended.
The modifications are listed in the PDF below. These are complex and CCBA.com recommends you contact a lawyer to make sure you understand the temporary rule changes.
