The bill amends several sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) related to tribal warrants and the extradition of tribal fugitives. Key provisions include the requirement for places of detention to deliver individuals in custody to noncertified tribes without a judicial order, provided certain conditions are met, such as the existence of an authenticated waiver of extradition. The bill also establishes that both certified and noncertified tribes have standing in state court hearings regarding the legality of extradition. Additionally, it outlines the process for filing tribal warrants with superior courts, including the necessary documentation and the timeline for judicial review.

Further amendments clarify the definitions of terms related to tribal law, such as "tribal court" 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 based on tribal warrants. It also stipulates that any person detained under these provisions has access to the writ of habeas corpus, with specific limitations on the issues that can be raised in such proceedings.
