The bill amends RCW 9A.44.130 to expand the registration requirements for sex offenders and kidnapping offenders in Washington State. Key changes include the addition of new information that offenders must provide when registering, such as the name and address of any educational institution they attend, designations used for online communications, and details about any vehicles they own or operate. Specifically, the bill inserts provisions requiring offenders to disclose their place of volunteer work and mandates that they provide a photograph and fingerprints as part of their registration process.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of offenders regarding travel outside the United States, requiring them to notify the county sheriff at least twenty-one days prior to travel, and includes specific registration deadlines for various categories of offenders, including those in custody, those under federal jurisdiction, and those lacking a fixed residence. The legislation aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that law enforcement has comprehensive and up-to-date information about registered offenders.
