Bill > SB6081

This bill aims to protect Washingtonians' privacy by preventing the unauthorized disclosure of sex designation information and past changes to that designation in official government records. It amends several existing laws to ensure that information related to sex designation changes on vital records, such as birth certificates, is sealed and not publicly accessible, and that driver's licenses and identicards issued after a sex designation change only reflect the current designation without indicating any prior changes. The bill also clarifies that supporting documentation for sex designation changes on vital records will be sealed and not subject to public inspection, and that state archives will not make this supporting documentation publicly available. Additionally, it strengthens protections for personal information in government records, particularly concerning sex designation, and ensures that such information is not disclosed without consent, except in specific circumstances like emergencies.
