The proposed bill establishes a new section in chapter 10.93 RCW that prohibits general and limited authority law enforcement agencies in Washington from hiring individuals who were sworn officers of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after January 20, 2025. This restriction is intended to apply only to future hires, meaning it will not affect any individuals already employed by these agencies prior to the effective date of the new law.

Additionally, the bill specifies that it will take effect on October 1, 2026, and it may be referred to as the "ICE Out Act of 2026." This legislation aims to address concerns regarding the hiring practices of law enforcement agencies in relation to federal immigration enforcement personnel.
