WA HB2643

Peace officers gain a due process right to petition superior court, appeal, or intervene in any prosecuting agency decision to place them on a Brady/Giglio list (lists of witnesses with known credibility or impeachment issues)

Superior courts may conduct in-camera evidence review and closed hearings, with authority to affirm, modify, or reverse the prosecuting agency's decision and order removal from the list

All evidence presented to the court remains under seal and confidential unless otherwise ordered

The standard of proof for allegations under these proceedings is preponderance of the evidence unless a higher standard is required by law

Prosecutors retain their existing constitutional obligations under Brady v. Maryland (1963) and Giglio v. United States (1972) to disclose impeachment and exculpatory evidence to defense counsel
