Addressing the issuance of confidential identification to investigators employed by the office of the attorney general.
SB 5829 allows Washington's Department of Licensing to issue confidential drivers' licenses and identification cards **only to investigators working for the Attorney General's office during undercover or covert civil or criminal law enforcement operations**. These licenses must display standard expiration dates but can only be used while the investigator is actively assigned to an undercover operation. The bill requires the Department to establish rules governing how these confidential licenses are applied for and used. It directly affects Attorney General investigators conducting covert work, limiting the use of these licenses to the duration of specific undercover assignments.
