OLYMPIA, Wash. — A bill to legalize personal possession of hard drugs has been introduced in the Washington Senate.
SB 5476 would establish “personal use amounts” for hard drugs such as heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine within the state of Washington.
It was co-sponsored locally by 40th District Senator Liz Lovelett, a Democrat.
The measure would provide for a so-called “forensic navigator” to serve as a care coordinator for persons alleged to be in possession of drugs that are within personal use amount limitations.
The navigator’s role would be limited to contacting persons alleged to be in possession to offer treatment services which the drug user would not be required to accept.
The bill’s author said it was intended to address the state supreme court decision on February 25 which ruled that the statute governing simple possession of controlled substances as unconstitutional.
