What are the changes that must be completed by the Courts of Limited Jurisdiction because of ESB 5061 - Vehicle and Vessel Registration and Title Provisions?
NOTE: Changes to this law was made in the 2014 legislation with the effective date of 7/1/2015. See Improper Display of Placard/Plate for current instructions on the Local Law Table.
The changes caused by ESB 5061 are meant to correct technical issues with the recodification of the Vehicle and Vessel laws taking effect on July 1, 2011. The recodification changed the law numbers of certain violations, and those changes WILL require the courts of limited jurisdiction to remove all local versions of the parking laws under RCW 46.16.381 and replace them with local laws under RCW 46.19.050. Additional statewide law table changes will be made by the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). To view a brief description of all changes, please see the attached document July 2011 Veh-Vessel JIS Law table Update Bulletin.
The local law table updates must be made using the Fine Penalty Schedule Update (FPSU) screen prior to the effective date of the law, July 1, 2011.
NOTE: The existing laws can have a future end effective date and the new laws can be added in the FPSU screen with a future begin date.
The following is a detailed description of the changes to the parking laws. Additional instructions and demonstrations on looking up (Inquiry), end dating (Remove), or adding new laws can be located in the Fine Penalty Schedule Update (FPSU) screen portion of the JIS Online Manual Administrative Tasks. An example of what the FPSU screen should look like when adding the new violations can be located attached to this answer.
