SB 6361 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Creating a firewall against federal authorities misusing driver, vehicle, and other personal information for civil immigration enforcement purposes.

This bill establishes a firewall to prevent Washington state agencies from sharing driver, vehicle, and personal information with federal immigration authorities for civil immigration enforcement purposes. It requires state departments to only disclose such data when a valid court order is issued and mandates notification to individuals within three days when their information is requested. The legislation also requires data-sharing agreements to include certifications that information will not be used for civil immigration enforcement, along with ongoing monitoring and termination of access if misuse is detected. Additionally, the bill mandates annual reports on data queries and public meetings to discuss compliance and statistics regarding information access.
