Washington State Senate passes bill to decertify sheriffs and police chiefs who fail professional standards. The bill, Senate Bill fifty-nine seventy-four, sets new rules for sheriff candidates, including a minimum age, law enforcement experience, background checks, and certification. Misconduct could lead to revoked certification and automatic removal from office. The bill passed the House and Senate, and now heads to Governor Bob Ferguson. Supporters say it brings leaders in line with standards for all officers, while critics call it an overreach. The bill could reshape accountability for top law enforcement roles if signed into law.
