The bill establishes a framework for political subdivisions in Washington with populations exceeding 200,000 to create civilian-staffed crisis response teams. These teams are designed to provide non-law enforcement responses to individuals in crisis, conduct safety and welfare checks, and respond to public requests for resources such as shelter and food. The crisis response teams can serve as primary responders to 911 calls when there is no imminent threat of violence or weapons involved, and they may also act as secondary responders in support of law enforcement. The bill outlines the qualifications, training, and operational parameters for these teams, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with local health authorities and other relevant organizations. Additionally, the bill amends RCW 42.56.230 to expand the exemptions for personal information from public disclosure. It specifically includes individuals receiving public safety or health services from a nonlaw enforcement agency among the categories of personal information that are protected from public inspection and copying. This change aims to enhance privacy protections for individuals who may be receiving assistance from the newly established crisis response teams and other non-law enforcement entities.
