WA SB5853

Secretary of State, with military department assistance, must establish a voluntary statewide emergency notification system for public officials that alerts all enrolled officials when any enrolled member contacts 911 or when a targeted threat against any public official is confirmed

Public officials include anyone holding city, county, state, or federal office who performs public functions, as well as their assistants, deputies, clerks, and employees

Secretary of State must provide enrollment information to newly elected officials within 30 days of their term start and to all current officials within 30 days of the law's effective date

Emergency notifications must not include names, addresses, or personal information of individuals who contact 911 or those targeted

Records maintained for the notification system are exempt from public disclosure under the Public Records Act, though enrolled public officials may request inspection of their own information
