This bill establishes a new legal provision in Washington state law that prohibits the removal of a federal candidate from the ballot based solely on allegations of insurrection or rebellion. Specifically, it stipulates that a candidate can only be disqualified if they have been convicted of insurrection or rebellion under federal law, and that the relevant federal statute must explicitly invoke section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Additionally, the bill reinforces that any attempts to disqualify a candidate under these circumstances would constitute a violation of existing state law, specifically RCW 29A.84.630. This legislation aims to protect candidates from being unjustly removed from ballots based on unproven allegations, ensuring that only those who have been legally convicted can face such consequences.
