The bill amends RCW 42.56.250 to enhance the protection of personal information related to complainants, accusers, and witnesses involved in employment investigations. It specifies that while investigative records are exempt from disclosure during an active investigation, once the investigation concludes, the names, images, job titles, email addresses, and phone numbers of these individuals must be redacted before any records can be disclosed. Additionally, the voices of these individuals on any audio recordings must be altered to maintain confidentiality unless they consent to the disclosure of their information.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for employees who are survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or harassment, allowing them to keep their personally identifiable information confidential if they provide a sworn statement or proof of participation in an address confidentiality program. The bill also mandates that agencies notify employees and unions when a request for their personnel information is made, ensuring transparency in the process while still protecting sensitive data.
