The bill establishes a statewide standard for the installation and operation of electric security alarm systems in Washington State, particularly in areas where local governments have not enacted specific regulations. It aims to enhance property protection and reduce the burden on local law enforcement. The legislation includes provisions that electric security alarm systems cannot be classified as fences and must be allowed on outdoor storage properties. It outlines specific installation requirements, such as the use of a low-voltage energizer, conspicuous warning signage, height restrictions, and the inclusion of a device for first responders to deactivate the system in emergencies.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that cities, towns, and counties that have not adopted relevant ordinances must comply with these standards. If they choose to regulate electric security alarm systems in the future, they must include "electric security alarm" in the title of the ordinance and conduct two public hearings prior to adoption. Existing systems that comply with the new requirements can continue to operate even if local regulations change. The bill also clarifies definitions for "electric security alarm system" and "outdoor storage property," while explicitly excluding burglar and fire alarm systems from its provisions.
