A bill in the Washington Legislature’s Ways and Means Committee would address some of the issues brought about by the state Supreme Court’s Blake decision that struck down the state’s main drug possession crime.  The bill would make knowingly possessing a controlled substance a gross misdemeanor, create a pre-trial diversion system, and requires the courts to impose mandatory minimum jail time if the person does not agree to treatment, and completion of treatment would be required for the conviction to be vacated.  Republican 14th District Representative Chris Corry says it’s not quite as tough as he would like, but if the bill moves forward he will strongly consider it.  The bill has gone to the Senate Rules Committee for a second reading.
