WHEREAS, the City Code currently prescribes a maxi-
mum fine of $250 and a maximum jail sentence of 90 days for
violation of most city ordinances, and
WHEREAS, RCW 35A.11.020 authorizes the City Council
to set penalties of up to $500, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it is in the
best interests of the public that more latitude be available
for setting a penalty that appropriately fits the particular
offense by raising the maximum penalties to $500 and/or 90
days in jail, and
WHEREAS, a first offense of theft is currently pun-
ishable by a fine only without regard to the value of the
property taken, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the administra-
tive task of keeping readily accessible records necessary to
discover any prior theft convictions for each person charged
with theft is impractical and that it would be more appropri-
ate in the interests of justice and efficiency to create two
degrees of theft based on value of property taken making the
second degree punishable by a fine only, and
WHEREAS, Chapter 5.30 of the City Code, adopted in
1969, provides that possession of any controlled substance is
punishable by a fine only if it is a first offense, and
-2-
WHEREAS, since Chapter 5.30 was enacted the state
legislature enacted the Uniform Controlled Substances Act,
RCW 69.50, which makes every offense involving controlled
substances a felony except possession of 40 grams or less of
marijuana, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the public's
interest in health and safety would be best served if the
City Code relating to controlled substances is updated to
adopt certain sections of the state law by reference and by
making all offenses other than the offense of possessing 40
grams or less of marijuana punishable by a maximum fine of
$500 and/or a maximum jail sentence of 90 days, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it in the interest
of justice to make the penalty for the offense of drinking
intoxicants in public parks, ECC 5.43.040, consistent with
the penalties for the similar offenses of minors in posses-
sion of intoxicants and disorderly conduct, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it is appropri-
ate to consolidate all penalty provisions for violations of
any section of the City Code in one section, Section
5.45.020, now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON,

69.50.302 Registration requirements. (a) Every per-
son who manufactures, distributes, or dispenses any con-
trolled substance within this state or who proposes to
engage in the manufacture, distribution, or dispensing of
any controlled substance within this state, must obtain
annually a registration issued by the state board of
pharmacy in accordance with its rules.
(b) Persons registered by the board under this chapter
to manufacture, distribute, dispense, or conduct research
with controlled substances may possess, manufacture,
distribute, dispense, or conduct research with those sub-
stances to the extent authorized by their registration and
in conformity with the other provisions of this Article.
(c) The following persons need not register and may
lawfully possess controlled substances under this
chapter:
(1) an agent or employee of any registered manufac-
turer, distributor, or dispenser of any controlled sub-
stance if he is acting in the usual course of his business
or employment: Provided, That this exemption shall not
include any agent or employee distributing sample con-
trolled substances to practitioners without an order;
(2) a common or contract carrier or warehouseman,
or an employee thereof, whose possession of any con-
trolled substance is in the usual course of business or
employment;
(3) an ultimate user or a person in possession of any
controlled substance pursuant to a lawful order of a
practitioner or in lawful possession of a Schedule V
substance.
(d) The board may waive by rule the requirement for
registration of certain manufacturers, distributors, or
dispensers if it finds it consistent with the public health
and safety: Provided, That personal practitioners li-
censed or registered in the state of Washington under
the respective professional licensing acts shall not be re-
quired to be registered under this chapter unless the
specific exemption is denied pursuant to RCW 69.50.305
for violation of any provisions of this chapter.
(e) A separate registration is required at each princi-
pal place of business or professional practice where the
applicant manufactures, distributes, or dispenses con-
trolled substances.
(f) The board may inspect the establishment of a reg-
istrant or applicant for registration in accordance with
the board's rule. [1971 ex.s. c 308 § 69.50.302.]

macy shall register an applicant to manufacture or dis-
tribute controlled substances included in RCW
69.50.204, 69.50.206, 69.50.208, 69.50.210, and 69.50-
.212 unless it determines that the issuance of that regis-
tration would be inconsistent with the public interest. In
determining the public interest, the board shall consider
the following factors:
(1) maintenance of effective controls against diversion
of controlled substances into other than legitimate medi-
cal, scientific, or industrial channels;
(2) compliance with applicable state and local law;
(3) any convictions of the applicant under any federal
and state laws relating to.any controlled substance;
(4) past experience in the manufacture or distribution
of controlled substances, and the existence in the appli-
cant's establishment of effective controls against
diversion;

a registrant to manufacture and distribute controlled
substances in Schedule I or II other than those specified
in the registration.
(c) Practitioners must be registered, or exempted un-
der RCW 69.50.302(d), to dispense any controlled sub-
stances or to conduct research with controlled substances
in Schedules II through V if they are authorized to dis-
pense or conduct research under the law of this state.
The board need not require separate registration under
this Article for practitioners engaging in research with
nonnarcotic controlled substances in Schedules II
through V where the registrant is already registered un-
der this Article in another capacity. Practitioners regis-
tered under federal law to conduct research with
Schedule I substances may conduct research with
Schedule I substances within this state upon furnishing
the board evidence of that federal registration.
(d) Compliance by manufacturers and distributors
with the provisions of the federal law respecting regis-
tration entitles them to be registered under this chapter
upon application and payment of the required fee. [1971
ex.s. c 308 § 69.50.303.]
69.50.304 Revocation and suspension of registration.
(a) A registration, or exemption from registration, under
RCW 69.50.303 to manufacture, distribute, or dispense
a controlled substance may be suspended or revoked by
the state board of pharmacy upon a finding that the
registrant:
(1) has furnished false or fraudulent material infor-
mation in any application filed under this chapter;
(2) has been found guilty of a felony under any state
or federal law relating to any controlled substance; or
[Title 69 RCW—p 58]
(1981 Ed.)
(3) has had his federal registration suspended or re-
voked to manufacture, distribute, or dispense controlled
substances.
(b) The board may limit revocation or suspension of a
registration to the particular controlled substance or
schedule of controlled substances, with respect to which
grounds for revocation or suspension exist.
(c) If the board suspends or revokes a registration, all
controlled substances owned or possessed by the regis-
trant at the time of suspension or the effective date of
the revocation order may be placed under seal. No dis-
position may be made of substances under seal until the
time for taking an appeal has elapsed or until all appeals
have been concluded unless a court, upon application
therefor, orders the sale of perishable substances and the
deposit of the proceeds of the sale with the court. Upon
a revocation order becoming final, all controlled sub-
stances may be forfeited to the state.
(d) The board shall promptly notify the Bureau of all
orders suspending or revoking registration and all forfei-
tures of controlled substances. [1971 ex.s. c 308 §
69.50.304.]
69.50.305 Procedure for denial, suspension or revo-
cation of registration. (a) Any registration, or exemption
from registration, issued pursuant to the provisions of
this chapter shall not be denied, suspended, or revoked

69.50.302(d), to manufacture, distribute, dispense, or
administer controlled substances under this chapter shall
keep records and maintain inventories in conformance
with the record —keeping and inventory requirements of
federal law and with any additional rules the state board
of pharmacy issues. [1971 ex.s. c 308 § 69.50.306.1
69.50.307 Order forms. Controlled substances in
Schedule I and II shall be distributed by a registrant or
person exempt from registration under RCW
69.50.302(d) to another registrant, or person exempt
from registration under RCW 69.50.302(d), only pursu-
ant to an order form. Compliance with the provisions of
federal law respecting order forms shall be deemed
compliance with this section. [1971 ex.s. c 308 §
69.50.307.]
69.50.308 Prescriptions. (a) Except when dispensed
directly by a practitioner authorized to prescribe or ad-
minister a controlled substance to an ultimate user, no
controlled substance in Schedule I1 may be dispensed
without the written prescription of a practitioner.
(b) In emergency situations, as defined by rule of the
state board of pharmacy, Schedule II drugs may be dis-
pensed upon oral prescription of a practitioner, reduced
promptly to writing and filed by the pharmacy. Pre-
scriptions shall be retained in conformity with the re-
quirements of RCW 69.50.306. No prescription for a
Schedule II substance may be refilled.
(c) Except when dispensed directly by a practitioner
authorized to prescribe or administer a controlled sub-
stance to an ultimate user, a controlled substance in-
cluded in Schedule III or IV, which is a prescription
drug as determined under RCW 69.04.560, shall not be
dispensed without a written or oral prescription of a
practitioner. Any oral prescription must be promptly re-
duced to writing. The prescription shall not be filled or
refilled more than six months after the date thereof or
be refilled more than five times, unless renewed by the
practitioner.
(d) A valid prescription or lawful order of a practi-
tioner, in order to be effective in legalizing the posses-
sion of controlled substances, must be issued in good
faith for a legitimate medical purpose by one authorized
to prescribe the use of such controlled substance. An or-
der purporting to be a prescription not in the course of
professional treatment is not a valid prescription or law-
ful order of a practitioner within the meaning and intent
of this chapter; and the person who knows or should
know that he is filling such an order, as well as the per-
son issuing it, can be charged with a violation of this
chapter.
(e) A controlled substance included in Schedule V
shall not be distributed or dispensed other than for a
medical purpose. [1971 ex.s. c 308 § 69.50.309.1

whose use any controlled substance has been prescribed,
sold, or dispensed by a practitioner, and the owner of
any animal for which such controlled substance has been
prescribed, sold, or dispensed may lawfully possess it
only in the container in which it was delivered to him by
the person selling or dispensing the same. [1971 ex.s. c
308 § 69.50.309.1

forcement agency under whose authority the seizure was made shall
cause notice to be served within fifteen days following the seizure on
the owner of the property seized and the person in charge thereof and

and intended forfeiture of the seized property. The notice may be

administrative law judge appointed under chapter 34.12 RCW, except
that any person asserting a claim or right may remove the matter to a
court of competent jurisdiction if the aggregate value of the article or
articles involved is more than five hundred dollars. A hearing before
the seizing agency and any appeal therefrom shall be under Title 34
RCW. In a court hearing between two or more claimants to the article
or articles involved, the prevailing party shall be entitled to a judgment
for costs and reasonable attorney's fees. The burden of producing evi-
dence shall be upon the person claiming to be the lawful owner or the
person claiming to have the lawful right to possession of items speci-
fied in subsection (a)(4) of this section. The seizing law enforcement
agency shall promptly return the article or articles to the claimant
upon a determination by the administrative law judge or court that the
claimant is the present lawful owner or is lawfully entitled to posses-
sion thereof of items specified in subsection (a)(4) of this section.

forcement agency of this state release such property to such agency for
the exclusive use of enforcing the provisions of this chapter;
