STATE OF WASHINGTON
v.
WILLIAM MICHAEL REIS

James Morrissey Whisman

Kurt Edward Boehl/Stephanie Joanna Boehl

SYNOPSIS: The governor vetoed a section of a 2011 bill that would have established a registry for medical users of marijuana.  She did not veto another section that would have decriminalized use of marijuana by medical users who recorded their medical use with the vetoed registry.  Did the remaining references to the registry survive the veto, with the result that medical use of marijuana remains criminal unless the user proves an affirmative defense of authorized use?
