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 deemed unconstitutional. It establishes that state officials, employees, and agents are not required to comply with federal executive orders that violate the United States Constitution, the Washington Constitution, or established judicial precedents. The bill emphasizes the state's responsibility to protect its citizens from unconstitutional actions 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 federal executive orders that do not comply with constitutional standards. The act is designated as the "Washington Sovereignty Act" and is declared necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, or safety, taking effect immediately upon passage.
