The proposed bill aims to affirm Washington state's constitutional rights and sovereignty by ensuring that no state resources are used to enforce federal orders that violate the United States Constitution, the Washington Constitution, or established judicial precedents. It establishes that state officials, employees, and agents are not required to comply with federal executive orders that do not align with these legal standards. The bill emphasizes the state's commitment to protecting the rights of its citizens and seeks to recover costs incurred while defending these rights.

Additionally, the bill allows state and local agencies, including law enforcement and emergency services, to seek reimbursement from the U.S. Department of the Treasury for costs associated with protecting citizens' rights under the First Amendment when protesting unconstitutional federal orders. The act is designated as the "Washington Sovereignty Act" and is deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, or safety, taking effect immediately upon passage.
