GR 9 COVER SHEET
Suggested Amendment to Criminal Rule for Courts of Limited Jurisdiction (CrRLJ) 8.3 Dismissal

Submitted by the Board of Governors of the Washington State Bar Association

Purpose: Please see the statement of purpose for the suggested amendment to CrR 8.3. The term “prosecuting attorney” in the suggested amendment to CrR 8.3 is here replaced with “prosecuting authority” as used elsewhere in the CrRLJs. And, because appeals from courts of limited jurisdiction are governed by the RALJs, the reference to RAP 2.2 in the suggested amendment to the superior court rule is here replaced with RALJ 2.2.
