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 promote a just energy transition.

The memorial calls for an international treaty to end new fossil fuel exploration and production while phasing out existing operations in alignment with global climate goals. It stresses the importance of prioritizing impacted workers and communities through enforceable labor standards and investments in green infrastructure. The resolution seeks to formally endorse the principles of fossil fuel non-proliferation and urges the federal government to take action in support of these goals.
