This bill introduces a new section to chapter 43.43 RCW, allowing Washington state patrol officers to engage in off-duty uniformed employment for traffic control services. Officers may utilize state patrol vehicles for this purpose, provided they adhere to guidelines established by the chief of the Washington state patrol.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Washington state patrol must be reimbursed for the use of these vehicles at the prevailing state employee rate, which includes compensation for both mileage and hours of usage, again subject to the guidelines set forth by the chief. This measure aims to facilitate the provision of traffic control services while ensuring proper reimbursement for the use of state resources.
