Bill > HB2096

This bill addresses the issuance of confidential identification documents to investigators employed by the office of the attorney general. Specifically, the bill allows the Washington State Department of Licensing to issue confidential drivers' licenses and identification cards (identicards) exclusively for investigators engaged in undercover or covert civil or criminal law enforcement activities. These special identification documents must follow department rules regarding expiration dates, but can only be used for the duration of the specific undercover or covert operation. The bill also grants the director of the department authority to establish rules governing the application process and use of these confidential licenses, plates, and identification documents. This provision is designed to support law enforcement investigators who need to maintain anonymity during sensitive investigations by providing them with identification that does not reveal their true identity or official status.
