BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. RCW 66.40.030 and 1949 c 5 s 12 are each amended to read as follows:
Within any unit referred to in RCW 66.40.010,
there may be held a separate election upon the question of whether the sale of
liquor under class H licenses, shall be permitted within such unit. The
conditions and procedure for holding such election shall be those prescribed by
RCW 66.40.020, 66.40.040, 66.40.100, 66.40.110 and 66.40.120. Whenever a
majority of qualified voters voting upon said question in any such unit shall
have voted "against the sale of liquor under class H licenses", the
county auditor shall file with the liquor control board a certificate showing
the result of the canvass at such election; and after ninety days from and
after the date of the canvass, it shall not be lawful for licensees to maintain
and operate premises ((therein)) within the election unit
licensed under class H licenses. The addition after an election under this
section of new territory to a city, town, or county, by annexation,
disincorporation, or otherwise, shall not extend the prohibition against the
sale of liquor under class H licenses to the new territory unless another
election under this section is held on the question within the expanded
election unit. Elections held under RCW 66.40.010, 66.40.020, 66.40.040,
66.40.100, 66.40.110, 66.40.120 and 66.40.140, shall be limited to the question
of whether the sale of liquor by means other than under class H licenses shall
be permitted within such election unit.
