i 360 petitionThis is the summary: This measure would enact a new statute reading, “Washington state laws, rules, and protections concerning a person, persons, or people shall be applicable to an individual human being or a human community only.” It would also amend the statutory definition of the term “person” to read, “The term ‘person’ may be construed to include the United States, this state, or any state or territory, or non-profit affinity group, but never a corporation or company.” The legalize:
AN ACT Relating to the definition of a person; and adding a new section to chapter 1.12 RCW and amending 1.16080 RCW.
