The bill introduces a new section to chapter 38.08 RCW, empowering the governor, through the adjutant general, to establish rules and regulations aimed at countering threats from unpiloted aircraft systems. These regulations will focus on the organization, maintenance, and training of the organized militia to address safety and security concerns for people, critical public infrastructure, and correctional facilities. Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the militia in detecting, identifying, monitoring, tracking, and mitigating these threats, as well as managing military property related to these efforts.

Furthermore, the bill grants the governor the authority to activate the organized militia to assist state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement in addressing credible threats posed by unpiloted aircraft systems. The militia members called into active service must undergo training and certification by the attorney general or their designee, in collaboration with the secretary of homeland security, ensuring they are adequately prepared to handle such threats.
