AI Summary

This bill expands eligibility for Washington's address confidentiality program, which allows individuals to use a substitute address to protect their safety, to include individuals appointed to positions under RCW 34.12.030, such as administrative law judges and staff employed by the office of administrative hearings, and any person residing with them, if they are targets of threats or harassment. The address confidentiality program, administered by the secretary of state, is designed to protect victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, stalking, election officials, criminal justice participants, and protected health care providers and their families from harm by concealing their actual location. The bill amends existing law (RCW 40.24.030) to add this new category of eligible participants and clarifies that providing false information to the program is punishable by law.
