The bill amends RCW 42.56.230 to exempt email addresses of individuals who subscribe to regular communications from certain state boards or commissions from public inspection and copying requirements under the Public Records Act. This addition aims to protect the privacy of individuals who wish to receive updates, newsletters, or similar communications from these agencies. The new language specifies that the exemption applies to email addresses submitted to a statutorily created state board or commission for this purpose.

In addition to the new exemption for email addresses, the bill reenacts and amends existing provisions that protect various types of personal information from public disclosure. These include personal information related to students, patients, employees, and taxpayers, as well as specific financial and identification information. The overall intent of the bill is to enhance privacy protections for individuals while maintaining transparency in government operations.
