Restrictions on testing workers for marijuana use, a 10-day wait for gun purchases, stronger voting rights for Washington residents and harsher penalties for street racing are among new laws that took hold this week.

Marijuana testing
Although recreational marijuana has been legal for adults in Washington since 2012, some employers in the state still require job applicants to pass a drug test.
