SB 5032: Military justice code

Concerning the Washington code of military justice.

Summary

  • The WCMJ is updated to reflect changes to the UCMJ. Changes include: The WCMJ applies to military offenses committed by members of the National Guard at any time. Nonmilitary offenses committed by members of the National Guard are not actionable under the WCMJ, and a member of the National Guard who commits a nonmilitary offense within a state armory will be turned over to civilian authorities for prosecution.
