Establishing a blue envelope program.
HB 2323 establishes a voluntary "blue envelope" program in Washington State to improve communication during traffic stops for neurodiverse individuals. The bill requires the Department of Licensing to create free blue envelopes containing safety tips for holders, interaction guidance for officers, and space for vehicle documents (like registration and insurance). It specifically targets people with neurodiverse conditions such as autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorders, as defined in the bill. Envelopes will be available at all driver licensing offices, and the program will maintain online resources for public access. The bill focuses on concrete program creation, not legislative changes to traffic laws.

MINOR
The document changed from a draft bill identifier to an official certification of enrollment, confirming that the bill passed both the House and Senate in the 2026 Regular Session. This change is procedural and administrative, as it serves as legal proof that the legislation was approved by the legislature and is ready for the Governor's signature.
TECHNICAL
Added official certification text stating the bill was passed by the House on February 16, 2026, and the Senate on March 6, 2026, with specific vote counts.
Added signatures and titles for the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, Chief Clerk, and Secretary of State to validate the document.
Removed the draft bill number 'H-3317.1' and replaced it with the official title 'CERTIFICATION OF ENROLLMENT'.
