Hello SMF family! We have an update for you on our HB1705 lawsuit. As you may recall, SMF originally filed this challenge to the “ghost guns” bill (HB1705) in Stevens County. When the case was moved to Thurston County, we appealed that decision. The Appellate Court granted review, and the State is now seeking to overturn that decision. We filed a Motion this week in response to the State’s claim that the commissioner improperly granted Discretionary Review. Our response (attached below) demonstrates that SMF met the threshold for appellate court discretionary review of the Stevens County Superior Court’s transfer to Thurston County.
Through January and February 2024, litigation on this matter will include motions to keep this challenge alive; SMF sees a viable path in this effort. This case is important, not just for the firearms elements, but because the issues we have before the appellate court will limit the State’s ability to transfer cases to Thurston County. We will continue to keep you all updated on this case!
