Statutes interpreted. Section 1, chapter
100, Laws of 1961, amended RCW 49.60.180 to add discrimination
because of age as an unfair practice of employers.
RCW 49.44.090 reads in part:
". . .
"Nothing contained in this section or in RCW 49.60.180 as to
age shall be construed . . .; nor shall anything in this section
or in RCW 49.60.180 be deemed to preclude . . .; nor shall this
section be construed . . . as superseding any law fixing or
authorizing the establishment of reasonable minimum or maximum
age limits with respect to candidates for certain positions in
public employment which are of such a nature as to require
extraordinary physical effort, or which for other reasons warrant
consideration of age factors."
