Washington committee considers bill expanding gambling data exemptions
Washington’s Senate State Government, Tribal Affairs & Elections Committee held a hearing on House Bill 1222 on 14 March, according to the report. The proposal would broaden exemptions from public disclosure for financial and security records held by the Washington State Gambling Commission; the commission and bill sponsor Chris Stearns supported it, while a media representative said regulatory actions would remain public.
If enacted, the bill would change which financial and security records Washington gambling regulators disclose.
