The bill amends RCW 10.93.150 to establish due process requirements for peace officers placed on Brady and Giglio lists, which are maintained by prosecuting attorneys to identify witnesses with potential impeachment information. It prohibits law enforcement agencies from taking disciplinary actions solely based on an officer's inclusion on these lists, although actions can be taken based on the underlying conduct that led to the officer's placement on the list, provided they adhere to established rules and procedures.

Additionally, the bill grants peace officers the right to petition the superior court regarding their placement on these lists. The court is empowered to conduct an in-camera review of the evidence and may hold closed hearings. It can affirm, modify, or reverse the prosecuting agency's decision and issue orders, including the removal of the officer from the list. The bill also specifies that all evidence presented in court must be kept confidential unless otherwise ordered, and establishes a standard of proof of preponderance of the evidence for related allegations or claims.
