Lo mthethosivivinywa uchaza umkhiqizo wokuya esikhathini ngokuthi "itamponi, iphedi, ilayili, inkomishi, isipanji, noma umkhiqizo ofanayo osetshenziswa ngabantu maqondana nokuya esikhathini noma eminye imfihlo yezitho zobulili."

IWashington ibe yisifunda sakamuva sokuqeda intela yokuthengisa emikhiqizweni yokuya esikhathini lapho umbusi uJay Inslee esayina umthethosivivinywa omusha ekuqaleni kuka-Ephreli.
