Use bracketed material as applicable.

COMMENT
RCW 9A.40.100(1).
For clarity, the WPI Committee has titled the instructions in this chapter as “human” trafficking, as there are a number of other offenses that use the term “trafficking.” See, e.g., RCW Chapter 9A.52. The Legislature simply used the word “trafficking” in the statute and the instructions are written to track the statutory language.
For a discussion of this instruction, see the Comment to WPIC 39A.02 (Human Trafficking—First Degree—Elements).
