    If a defendant who is charged with driving a motor vehicle without having
proof of valid insurance pursuant to RCW 46.20, and that defendant presents
satisfactory evidence that they have obtained valid insurance to the Clerk of
the Court within 15 days of the date of the citation, for the vehicle the
defendant was operating on the day he/she was cited, then the bail for the
offense shall be reduced to $250.00.

    If, within fifteen (15) days of the date of the citation, the defendant
presents satisfactory evidence of valid insurance being in effect at the time
the citation was issued, then the offense shall be dismissed upon payment of
the $25.00 administrative fee.  "Satisfactory evidence" shall mean 1) written
identification card from the insurance company, and 2) proof that the defendant
was insured to drive the vehicle s/he was operating at the time of the
violation.  If the defendant is not named on the insurance card, the defendant
must provide: (a) a copy of the policy verifying the defendant is noted as a
named insured on the policy; (b) a copy of the policy showing who is covered
(i.e. that it covers all other drivers who operate the vehicle with the
permission of the owners); or (c) a letter from the insurance agent clearly
stating that the defendant would have been covered under the policy provisions
on the date charged.
