WA HB1053

Amends RCW 13.40.740 to add a new exception allowing law enforcement to question juveniles without first providing attorney consultation when the juvenile is detained for involvement in both a criminal street gang-related offense and a violent or serious violent offense

Maintains existing requirements that juveniles under 18 must have access to an attorney (in person, by phone, or video) before waiving constitutional rights during custodial interrogation, detention based on probable cause, or consent searches

Preserves existing exceptions for questioning without attorney consultation when officers believe the juvenile is a trafficking victim or when there is an imminent threat to life

Statements made by juveniles without attorney consultation remain inadmissible in court unless properly waived, used for impeachment, or made spontaneously
