Amending the statewide policy supporting Washington state's economy and immigrants' role in the workplace.
SB 6264 amends Washington state law to prevent state agencies and law enforcement from using public resources to enforce federal immigration laws or discriminate based on immigration status. It requires agencies to stop asking for immigration status when providing services (like driver's licenses or health care) and limits sharing such information with federal authorities, except for criminal investigations or court orders. Key agencies, including the Department of Licensing and Department of Health, must implement these changes by 2021 or 2023. The bill also prohibits school resource officers and police from detaining individuals solely to check immigration status or sharing personal information for immigration enforcement without legal justification.
