The bill amends RCW 18.185.110 to include new provisions that classify certain actions as unprofessional conduct for bail bond recovery agents. Specifically, it introduces a new clause that prohibits the use of a bail bond recovery agent's position to enforce civil immigration warrants, as defined in RCW 43.17.420. This addition aims to clarify the responsibilities and limitations of bail bond recovery agents in relation to civil immigration enforcement.
In addition to the new insertion, the bill also makes a minor adjustment to the existing list of unprofessional conduct by replacing the word "or" with "or" before the new clause. This change emphasizes the inclusion of the new provision while maintaining the integrity of the existing regulations governing the conduct of bail bond recovery agents. Overall, the bill seeks to ensure that bail bond recovery agents do not engage in activities related to civil immigration enforcement, thereby protecting the rights of individuals in the immigration process.
