Allows drivers to leave pets in unattended vehicles under certain conditions to protect them from extreme temperatures.

This bill modifies Washington state law to allow drivers to leave pets in unattended vehicles under specific conditions to protect them from excessive heat or cold.

The bill also establishes that animal control or law enforcement officers are not liable for property damage when they remove pets from vehicles if they reasonably believe the pets are in danger.
