This bill introduces a new section to chapter 46.08 of the Revised Code of Washington, allowing the Department of Licensing to issue confidential drivers' licenses and identicards specifically for investigators employed by the office of the attorney general. These confidential identification documents are intended for use in undercover or covert civil or criminal law enforcement activities. The bill stipulates that any such license or identicard must have an expiration date in accordance with departmental rules and can only be utilized during the investigator's assignment to an undercover operation.

Additionally, the bill grants the director the authority to establish rules regarding the application process and usage of these confidential licenses and identicards, as well as confidential license plates. This legislative change aims to enhance the operational effectiveness of law enforcement personnel engaged in sensitive investigations while ensuring that the use of these confidential documents is regulated and limited to specific circumstances.
