RCW 10.14.800 Master petition pattern form to be developed—Recommendations to legislature.
The legislature respectfully requests that:
(1) By January 1, 2014, the administrative office of the courts shall develop a single master petition pattern form for all antiharassment and stalking protection orders issued under chapter 7.92 RCW and this chapter. The master petition must prompt petitioners to disclose on the form whether the petitioner who is seeking an ex parte order has experienced stalking conduct as defined in RCW 7.92.020. An antiharassment order and stalking protection order issued under chapter 7.92 RCW and this chapter must substantially comply with the pattern form developed by the administrative office of the courts.
(2) The Washington state supreme court gender and justice commission, to the extent it is able, in consultation with Washington coalition of sexual assault programs, Washington state coalition against domestic violence, Washington association of prosecuting attorneys, Washington association of criminal defense lawyers, and Washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs, consider other potential solutions to reduce confusion about which type of protection order a petitioner should seek and to provide any recommendations to the legislature by January 1, 2014.
