The bill establishes a new chapter in Title 29A RCW to ensure compliance with the Washington Voting Rights Act of 2018. It defines "covered jurisdictions" as political subdivisions that have faced legal actions related to voting rights violations or that meet specific demographic criteria indicating potential discrimination against protected classes. The bill outlines what constitutes a "covered practice," which includes changes to election methods, district boundaries, and voting accessibility, and mandates that any covered practice must receive a certification of no objection from the attorney general before implementation.

Additionally, the bill provides a framework for the attorney general to oversee and certify covered practices, allowing for appeals and actions by aggrieved parties if necessary. It requires the secretary of state to designate covered jurisdictions biannually and maintain a publicly accessible database of these jurisdictions and related submissions. The bill also includes a provision that protects political subdivisions from legal actions based on a covered practice for four years following the attorney general's approval, provided no changes are made to the practice during that period. If specific funding for the act is not provided by June 30, 2025, the act will become null and void.
