Creating a detention facility registry.

Summary

The bill requires every detention facility in Washington to register annually with the state department, providing basic information such as name, address, capacity and average daily population. Facilities that fail to register or renew face civil penalties up to $1,000 per day, with collected fines deposited into a new enforcement account. The measure excludes juvenile rehabilitation centers, medical facilities, and home detention, and takes effect immediately as an emergency law.
