ORDINANCE NO. 56 -�
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City
of Kent, Washington, repealing ch. 9.02 of the Kent City
Code and enacting a new chapter, ch. 9.02, entitled
"Criminal Code."
I
WHEREAS, state law requires municipalities to enforce all
misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor violations of criminal law that occur within the
limits of the municipality; and
WHEREAS, the City has enacted many local criminal code sections that
are identical, or nearly identical, to existing state criminal law statutes; and
WHEREAS, section 35A.12.140 of the Revised Code of Washington
("RCW") permits the City to adopt by reference sections of the RCW; and
WHEREAS, other than the locally enacted criminal code provisions, the
City has adopted numerous RCW sections; however, many other state statutes relating
to criminal conduct are not adopted in the current criminal code and are, therefore,
unenforceable; and
WHEREAS, replacing the current criminal code with a simplified
criminal code that incorporates RCW criminal code sections by reference rather than
1 Kent Criminal Code - 2002
restating them as local code sections would benefit police officers, prosecutors, and

of the citizens of Kent; NOW THEREFORE,
