The bill amends RCW 42.56.230 to include a new exemption for email addresses of individuals who subscribe to regular communications and updates from local agencies. This addition aims to protect the privacy of individuals who provide their email addresses for purposes such as receiving newsletters or similar publications from these agencies. The new legal language specifies that these email addresses will not be subject to public inspection and copying, thereby enhancing the confidentiality of personal information shared with local agencies.

In addition to the new exemption, the bill reenacts and amends several existing provisions related to the protection of personal information, including details about students, employees, and individuals involved in various public programs. The overall intent of the bill is to strengthen privacy protections for personal information while ensuring that individuals can still receive important updates and communications from local agencies without the risk of their email addresses being disclosed.
