Washington HB1460 mandates the creation of protection order hope cards by the administrative office of the courts.

HB1460 requires the administrative office of the courts to develop a program for issuing protection order hope cards. These cards, which can be in a scannable electronic format, include details such as the issuing court, case number, and dates of issuance and expiration. The cards also contain information about the restrained person and the protected individuals. Individuals with a valid full protection order can request a hope card without charge, and the card has the same legal effect as the underlying protection order.
