The proposed bill aims to protect wild and exotic animals by prohibiting their display for public entertainment or amusement. It introduces a new chapter to Title 16 RCW, which defines key terms such as "circus," "display," and "wild or exotic animal." The bill specifies that no person may display or sponsor the display of these animals on any public or private property, with exceptions for educational purposes by accredited organizations. Violations of this chapter are classified as civil infractions, and the enforcement will be carried out by designated authorities.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the definitions provided are not exhaustive and do not include domesticated species. It establishes that the chapter may be cited as the "wild or exotic animal protection act" and outlines the enforcement mechanisms and penalties for violations. Overall, the legislation seeks to enhance the welfare of wild and exotic animals by restricting their use in entertainment settings.
