I don't know if this bill will pass but it won't surprise me if it does:
Washington State Legislature
Washingtonians consider yourselves lucky even if SB 5061 does pass. In Oregon we have a similiar ban buried in SB 978-5. Our law does not grandfather in firearms like your bill does. Possession of pre-1968 firearms will be a Class B felony in Oregon, while you folks will be able to possess untraceable firearms manufactured up to July 1st, 2019. If you were thinking about buying some 80% percent receivers or frames, keep an eye on SB 5061 and get ready to buy before July.
"Untraceable firearm" means any firearm manufactured after July 1, 2019, for which the sale or distribution chain from a
federally licensed dealer to the point of its first retail sale cannot be traced by law enforcement by means of a serial number
registered with a federally licensed manufacturer imprinted on its major component.
It's also worth mentioning that possession of illegal untraceable firearm will only be a gross misdemeanor for first offense under WA law. In Oregon it will be a Class B Felony. Oregon seems intent on disarmament imho.
