This bill died with 2017-2018 Regular Session. It reached “Passed House” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

1 added · 1 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of House Bill 1591 increases the punishment for vehicular assault, especially for those convicted while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Notably, an additional five years will be added to their sentence for each previous conviction of this nature, whether from Washington or elsewhere. This change aims to enhance accountability and deter repeat offenders, thereby improving road safety for everyone.
