NOTES:

Effective datesPart headings not law2003 c 168: See notes following RCW 82.08.010.
Effective date1997 c 302: “This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect July 1, 1997.” [ 1997 c 302 § 3.]
FindingsIntent1996 c 247: “The legislature finds that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the state of Washington are heavily dependent upon the continued encouragement, development, and expansion of opportunities for family wage employment in the state’s manufacturing industries.
The legislature also finds that sales and use tax exemptions for manufacturing machinery and equipment enacted by the 1995 legislature have improved Washington’s ability to compete with other states for manufacturing investment, but that additional incentives for manufacturers need to be adopted to solidify and enhance the state’s competitive position.
The legislature intends to accomplish this by extending the current manufacturing machinery and equipment exemptions to include machinery and equipment used for research and development with potential manufacturing applications.” [ 1996 c 247 § 1.]
