HB 1222 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning public inspection and copying of proprietary financial and security information submitted to or obtained by the gambling commission.

HB 1222 amends the Public Records Act to expand the categories of proprietary financial and security information submitted to the Gambling Commission that are exempt from public disclosure. The bill specifically protects sensitive financial statements, internal operational procedures, gaming facility security details, and gaming equipment information from public inspection and copying. This measure directly affects gambling license applicants, licensees, gaming facilities, and tribes with approved compacts by limiting public access to these specific business and security records.
