Much easier argument for refugees to claim residency when they can first point to fishing and hunting license requirements and say, "if I can get a fishing /hunting license after 30 days, why not permanent residency?" Etc etc etc.
HP is spot on WRT the agenda behind such an initiative. Residency should be pushed out to minimum of 6 months. Military members who can show PCS orders should be able to buy resident license from day 1.

Persons are considered residents of this state for sales and use tax purposes if they take actions which indicate that they intend to live in this state on more than a temporary or transient basis. A person may be considered a resident of this state even though the person is a resident of another state.
The Department of Revenue presumes that a person is a resident of this state if he or she does any of the following:
Maintains a residence in Washington for personal use;
Lives in a motor home or vessel which is not permanently attached to any property if the person previously lived in this state and does not have a permanent residence in any other state;
Is registered to vote in this state;
Receives benefits under one of Washington's public assistance programs;
Has a state professional or business license in this state;
Is attending school in this state and paying tuition as a Washington resident or is a custodial parent with a child attending a public school in this state;
Uses a Washington address for federal or state taxes;
Has a Washington State driver's license; or
Claims Washington as a residence for obtaining a hunting or fishing license, eligibility to hold public office or for judicial actions.
Persons may rebut the presumption of residency if they provide other facts which show that they do not intend to reside in this state on either a temporary or permanent basis. A Washington resident who intends to move at a future date, however, will be considered a Washington resident.

I doubt it will affect too many people, either way.

I think it's fine. I seriously doubt anyone would rent an apartment for 30 days just to get in-state licensing.Not in WASHINGTON :chuckle: :chuckle:

This would be great for college students. Rent an apartment for 30 days become a resident save thousands by paying in state tuition.
Part of my etc etc etc.
I'm quite sure the bill is slight of hand for one or more back door intentions. :twocents:

A hunter moves to Washington. It takes him about 30 days to get settled and find a resource for hunting information. On day 45 he finds out about Hunt WA. Before day 90, he decides the hunting was better back home. Lost sale.

I see the logic.
