The bill aims to amend the Washington code of military justice to enhance protections for victims of offenses committed while serving in the organized militia of Washington. It establishes a new section in chapter 38.38 RCW that outlines specific rights for victims, ensuring they receive protections similar to those afforded to service members in federal status. These rights include protection from the accused, timely notifications regarding hearings and proceedings, the right to be heard in relevant hearings, and the right to confer with state counsel. The bill emphasizes the importance of aligning state military justice with federal standards to provide consistent treatment of victims across various commands.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the rights granted to victims do not create a cause of action for damages or impose any liability on the state or its employees. It also stipulates that any interviews of victims by the accused's counsel must occur in the presence of the state counsel or a victim advocate, ensuring the victim's safety and privacy. Overall, the legislation seeks to strengthen the support and rights of victims within the military justice system in Washington.
