Judge permanently blocks Washington law on sheriff standards
Original: Judge permanently blocks WA new standards law for sheriffs, AG’s Office to appeal
A Washington judge has permanently blocked the state's new standards law for sheriffs, ruling it cannot take effect. The state Attorney General's Office says it will appeal the decision, setting up a legal fight over whether the legislature can impose training and conduct requirements on independently elected county sheriffs.
Why now: The ruling strikes down a recently passed state law and an appeal will keep the dispute alive.
