Washington States Attorney General Proposes New Investigative Powers: Senate Bill 5925 and House Bill 2156 aim to expedite civil investigations into issues like wage theft and poor working conditions. The bills, which have passed the House and Senate, grant the AG the ability to issue civil investigative demands and make certain AG investigators limited peace officers. However, the bills face opposition from Republicans and police associations, who argue they create unchecked power for fishing expeditions and political targeting. The bills now face tight deadlines with the session ending March 12th.
