Flanders v. Morris
Washington Supreme Court
Decided January 7, 1977No. 44269PublishedCited by 67 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtHunter, J.
Lois Flanders, petitioner in this original mandamus action, is 28 years old, unemployed, and in need. Therefore she is entitled to public assistance under the codified public assistance laws of this state: RCW 74.08.025; 74.04.005(6),(13); and 74.08.040. However, the supplemental appropriations bill for the 1975-77 biennium, House Bill No. 1624 (Laws of 1975, 2d Ex. Sess., ch. 133, p. 472) contains a-provision which limits general, noncontinu-ing public assistance to persons who, if single, are at least 50 years old. Under this law, she is ineligible for assistance.
