Protecting Washingtonians from invasion of privacy, including the unauthorized disclosure of sex designation information and historic sex designation changes in official government records.

Summary

The bill adds new privacy exemptions that keep sex‑designation information—and any record of a change to that designation—confidential in driver’s licenses, ID cards, vehicle and vessel registrations, school and health files, and other state records. It also requires that any credential issued after a sex‑designation change show only the current designation, with no indication that a change occurred. The changes aim to protect individuals from involuntary outing and related privacy harms.
