The bill amends various sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) related to tribal warrants and the extradition of tribal fugitives. Key provisions include the requirement for a place of detention to deliver a person in custody to a noncertified tribe without a judicial order, provided that the tribe has an authenticated waiver of extradition signed by the individual. Additionally, the bill establishes that both certified and noncertified tribes have standing in state court hearings regarding the legality of extradition. It also outlines the process for filing tribal warrants with the superior court, including the necessary documentation and the timeline for judicial review.

Further amendments clarify the definitions of terms such as "certified tribe," "noncertified tribe," and "tribal fugitive," and enhance the legal framework for the enforcement of tribal warrants in Washington state. The bill ensures that arrest warrants issued by certified tribes are given full faith and credit by state courts and allows for the placement of detainers on inmates based on tribal warrants. It also specifies that the privilege of habeas corpus is available for individuals detained under these provisions, with limitations on the issues that can be raised in such proceedings.
