The legislature does not intend to impede the ability of any person to establish a marital or romantic relationship, but rather to increase the ability of persons living abroad to make informed decisions about Washington residents.The legislature does not intend to adversely impact in any way those businesses who offer international matchmaking services on a not for fee basis.[ 2002 c 115 § 1.]
