Concerning the protection of voluntary supplied personal information of local government employees.

SB 6123 protects sensitive personal information of Washington state local government employees and volunteers by exempting it from public disclosure under the Public Records Act. It specifically shields residential addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, driver's license details, emergency contacts, and demographic data (like race, sexual orientation, or disability status) from public records requests. The bill also allows employees or dependents who are survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking to request redaction of their personal information through a sworn statement or proof of participation in an address confidentiality program. News media retains limited access to some information under defined conditions, but agencies must redact identifying details in investigation records after completing probes into workplace issues. This bill directly affects all local government employees and volunteers whose personal data is held in personnel records.
