    Default Are Prior Actions Taken Under a Law Still Valid if the Law is Changed

    My question involves civil rights in the State of: Washington.

    I am currently involved in a campaign to seek amendment of a law recently signed by the WA governor, based on the unintended consequences of a particular article. (The article likely violates both contract law and civil rights.) Initial consultations with legislators indicate that they agree with our position and that there is every prospect the amendment will occur during next year's session.

    My question relates to the validity of actions taken before then, as permitted by the relevant article in the new law. If the that article is repealed or amended, will that automatically nullify any actions taken on the basis of the article in the intervening period? Or will those actions be treated as having been legal for that period, and therefore stand?

    Thanks for your advice!
