The bill introduces a new section to chapter 9A.60 RCW, establishing the offense of false identification as a peace officer. A person commits this offense if they create, provide, or possess items such as cards, badges, or vehicles that falsely identify them or another individual as a peace officer or reserve law enforcement officer, knowing that the identification is untrue. Additionally, the bill criminalizes the intentional misrepresentation of objects as property belonging to a law enforcement agency. Violations of this law are classified as gross misdemeanors.

The bill also outlines defenses against prosecution, including situations where the item clearly identifies the individual as an honorary peace officer or where the individual was legitimately commissioned at the time the item was created. Furthermore, the legislation clarifies that it does not restrict the depiction of law enforcement for cultural, historical, or educational purposes. Definitions for terms such as "reserve officer" and "federal peace officer" are also provided to ensure clarity in enforcement.
