WPIC 45.16 Facility for Persons with a Chemical Dependency—Definition
A “facility for persons with a chemical dependency” is one that provides care or treatment for persons who are alcoholic, addicted to drugs, or dependent on alcohol and one or more other psychoactive chemicals.
NOTE ON USE
This instruction may be used with other sex offense instructions that use the term “facility for chemically dependent persons.” See WPIC 41.02 (Rape—Second Degree—Elements); WPIC 49.02 (Indecent Liberties—Elements).
COMMENT
RCW 9A.44.010(13); RCW 70.96A.020(4).
For purposes of second degree rape and indecent liberties, the term “person with a chemical dependency” is defined in RCW 9A.44.010(13), which in turn relies on the definition of “chemical dependency” from RCW 70.96A.020(4).
