NOTES:

     *Reviser's note: The sentence "This section expires June 30, 2005." was added to RCW 41.06.076 by 1997 c 386 § 1. While the phrase "This section expires ..." generally indicates that the entire section expires on the date given, in this case the apparent intent of 1997 c 386 § 1 was to expire only the phrase "all social worker V positions;" which was also added to the section by 1997 c 386 § 1.

     Effective date -- 1993 c 281: See note following RCW 41.06.022.

     Effective date -- Severability -- 1970 ex.s. c 18: See notes following RCW 43.20A.010.
