The bill amends RCW 9.91.025 to expand the definition of unlawful transit conduct to include actions that occur on Washington state ferries. It outlines various behaviors that constitute unlawful conduct while on or in a transit vehicle or at a transit station, such as smoking in unauthorized areas, littering, obstructing transit flow, and engaging in unruly behavior. The bill specifies that violations of these regulations will be classified as misdemeanors.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of "transit station," "transit facility," and "transit vehicle," explicitly including "the Washington state ferries" within the definition of transit authority. This inclusion aims to ensure that the same standards of conduct apply to ferry services as they do to other forms of public transportation, thereby enhancing safety and order across all transit systems in Washington state.
