The proposed bill establishes that students who cause significant monetary damage to public institutions of higher education will become ineligible for state financial aid and must repay any grants, scholarships, or other financial assistance they have received. This determination will be made by a court of competent jurisdiction, and the threshold for damage is set at an amount equal to or greater than the cost of a full academic year's tuition and fees for one residential student at the affected institution. The bill emphasizes the need to recover costs incurred by institutions due to acts of vandalism and violence, which have been increasingly problematic under the guise of political expression.

To implement this policy, the bill introduces new sections to various chapters of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). Specifically, it mandates that all state financial aid awards are immediately repayable to the awarding agency if a student is under court order to repay due to damage caused. Additionally, it stipulates that all property rights in the financial aid awards revert to the state under these circumstances. The Student Achievement Council is also granted the authority to adopt rules for the implementation of these provisions.
