    Default Re: How Much Time to Does a State Have to Implement a State Supreme Court Decision

    You are welcome. I have never heard of any case law or even statutory law addressing it. As the clerk stated, an Attorney needs to review it to possible force compliance.

    As I said, if we go by the passage of a statutory law, states are like 1-3 months for an effective date.

    I did not look, but let's say WA is 1 month, the law should be complied with in a month +, if we use that as a guide.

    In todays techno world, a decision is avalable by any ## of mediums.

    Imagine back in the old days, how long it took for a state on the West coast to find out who was elected President.

    If the decision has not been enforced in a month +, from Sep. 10, the aggrieved party needs to consult counsel. I would say that is more than enough time to read it, have the lawyers for the loosing side analyze what the WA SC is ordering them to do, and do it.


    Edited:

    Here is a list of legislative passage effective dates.

    For WA:

    ....Laws go into effect 90 days after the adjournment of the session, unless specified otherwise....

    You see it is for adjournment, so I would not use that as a guide. I was just trying to compare it. Ohio is 90 days from the Gov's signature, etc., that I knew.

    I would say, up to you, no more than 3 months before I consulted an Attorney, most probably as I said though, up to you, a month +.

    Good luck!!
