Washington (state) expands definition of 'Disabilithy'...
(advisory - link goes to a PDF document.)
The mommy state of Washington is seeking to amend its law against discriminiation to imaginary disabilities (and I don't mean disability to one's imagination...) And its Retroactive!
Sec. 2. RCW 49.60.040 and 2006 c 4 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:
(25) “Disability” means the presence of a sensory, mental or physical impairment that:
(a) Is medically cognizable or diagnosable; or
(b) Exists as a record or history; or
(c) Is perceived to exist whether or not it exists in fact.
A disability exists whether it is temporary or permanent, common or uncommon, mitigated or unmitigated, or
whether or not it limits the ability to work generally or work at a particular job or whether or not it limits any other
activity within the scope of this chapter.
For purposes of this definition, “impairment” includes, but is not limited to:
(a) Any physiological disorder, or condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss affecting one or more
of the following body systems: neurological, musculoskeletal, special sense organs, respiratory (including speech
organs), cardiovascular, reproductive, digestive, genitor-urinary, hemic and lymphatic, skin and endocrine; or
(b) Any mental, developmental, traumatic, or psychological disorder, including, but not limited to cognitive
limitation, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities.
Sec. 3. This act is remedial and retroactive and shall apply to all claims which are not time barred, as well as all
claims pending in any court or agency at the time of enactment.

You know I had a headache when that cop gave me a $150 speeding ticket a few years ago. I think I have a good case for discrimination.

The truly sad part is that those who really do have a disability will not be able to get what they need because all the funding is gobbled up by these imaginary disabilities.
