Concerning court rules and procedures.

HB 2178 updates Washington state court rules and procedures for civil infractions (noncriminal violations like traffic tickets). It expands the definition of "physical damage" to include digital records and computer systems, and clarifies requirements for civil infraction notices, including mandatory content about penalties and response deadlines. The bill sets specific monetary penalties for different classes of infractions (e.g., up to $500 for certain littering or firearm violations) and details how courts must handle payment plans or collection. These changes directly affect courts, enforcement officers issuing notices, and individuals cited for civil infractions.
