Revised Code of Washington (RCW) (original) (raw)
The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) is the compilation of all permanent laws now in force. It is a collection of Session Laws (enacted by the Legislature, and signed by the Governor, or enacted via the initiative process), arranged by topic, with amendments added and repealed laws removed. It does not include temporary laws such as appropriations acts.
The Statute Law Committee declares that the certified PDF publication documents in the RCW Archive area on the Office of the Code Reviser's website constitute the official publication of the Revised Code of Washington.
The online version of the RCW is updated twice a year, once in the early fall following the legislative session, and again at the end of the year if a ballot measure that changes the law passed at the general election. Copies of the RCW as they existed each year since 1973 are available in the RCW Archive.
The Selected Titles version of the Revised Code of Washington is located here.
