SUBMITTED BY: Jeff Allen Schaap, Assistant City Attorney SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The City Municipal Code Chapter 6.12, Alcohol and Tobacco Violations, currently consists primarily of City codes relating to alcohol and tobacco use, consumption, and sale regulations with regard to time, place, and age classifications. Chapter 6.12 is made up entirely of City codes. This Ordinance would repeal all of the.City codes and replace them with the equivalent Revised Code of Washington statutes. Additionally, the Ordinance adopts Revised Code of Washington statutes relating to drinking in a public conveyance and treating, gifting, purchasing of liquor for or from a minor, or holding out a minor as at least twenty -one, in a public place where liquor is sold. Adopting equivalent State statutes when available can be beneficial in that case law provides guidance on issues of statutory interpretation and State statutes allow for the use of standard pattern jury instructions. The use of State statutes in this instance will provide greater certainty and uniformity. Lastly, this ordinance renames Chapter 6.12 "Offenses Relating to Alcohol and Tobacco Violations."
