The bill is a memorial from the Washington State Legislature urging the United States government to join the global community in developing a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. It emphasizes the urgent need to address climate change, which is primarily driven by human activities, and highlights the significant risks posed by fossil fuel expansion to public health, safety, and the environment. The memorial outlines the state's commitment to ambitious climate action, including previous legislative efforts to cap greenhouse gas emissions and invest in green infrastructure, while also recognizing the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable communities.

The memorial calls for an international treaty to end new fossil fuel exploration and production, phase out existing fossil fuel operations, and ensure a just transition for affected workers and communities. It stresses the importance of enforceable labor standards and investments in local services to support those most impacted by the transition away from fossil fuels. The Washington State Legislature formally endorses the principles of the treaty and requests that copies of the memorial be sent to key government officials and international leaders.
