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 review and certify covered practices, allowing for appeals by covered jurisdictions if objections are raised. It requires the secretary of state to designate covered jurisdictions biannually and maintain a publicly accessible database of these jurisdictions and related actions. The bill also stipulates that once a covered practice is certified, no further actions against it can be initiated for four years, provided there are no changes to the practice. Finally, the act will become null and void if specific funding is not allocated by June 30, 2025.
