Expanding the public records exemption for personal information of family home child care providers to all licensed or certified child care providers.
SB 5926 expands Washington state's public records exemption to protect personal information for all licensed or certified child care providers, not just those operating from home. It exempts details like home addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and photos from public disclosure under the Public Records Act. This applies to providers in family homes, child care centers, school-age programs, and all other licensed settings. The bill does not exempt business addresses, licensing status, or safety inspection results, which remain public.
