1994 Washington Attorney General Reports and Opinions 1 (1994)

handle is hein.sag/sagwa0104 and id is 1 raw text is: Attorney General of Washington FIREARMS-WEAPONS-SCHOOLS--Possession of firearms in facilities used exclusively by schools RCW 9.41.280 prohibits possession of firearms in areas of facilities while being used exclusively by public or private schools. An area of a facility is used exclusively by a school when the school has sole possession, control, or use of an area of the facility, regardless of the duration of the use. January 12, 1994 Honorable Linda Smith State Senator, District 18 205 Institutions Building, MS 40418 Olympia, WA 98504-0418 Cite as: AGO 1994 No. 1 Dear Senator Smith: By letter previously acknowledged you requested our interpretation of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill (ESSB) 5307, which was enacted as Laws of 1993, ch. 347. ESSB 5307 amended RCW 9.41.280 to prohibit the possession of firearms (and other weapons) in areas of facilities while being used exclusively by public or private schools. Your question, which asks for an interpretation of the quoted language, is: Does exclusively mean prolonged exclusive use as when a school rents a building for an extended period solely for school activities, like an off campus classroom, or does it include sporadic use of a multi-use facility such as the Kingdome during the football playoffs? Attorney General of Washington 7th Floor Highways Licenses Bldg PB 71 Olympia WA 98504 Phone: (206) 753-6220
