Sec.

303.

A new section is added to chapter 2.53 RCW to read as follows:

The legislature recognizes that many tribes exercise tribal court civil jurisdiction in domestic violence matters.

While principles of tribal sovereignty and commitments made in the centennial accord prohibit the state of Washington from directing tribal court practices or directing that counsel be appointed in tribal court civil protection proceedings, and while the provisions of chapter 7.105 RCW do not apply in tribal courts, it is necessary that indigenous survivors of domestic violence have access to high quality legal assistance in tribal court domestic violence protection proceedings consistent with applicable tribal court rules and practices.

To this end, and subject to appropriations for this purpose, the office of civil legal aid must develop a program and implementation plan to provide indigenous-informed, culturally competent legal support for survivors in tribal court domestic violence protection proceedings.

The office of civil legal aid must establish a tribal advisory council to inform and guide the development of this program.

Initial operation of the tribal court civil protection proceedings program must commence by January 1, 2025.
