2SHB 2333 — Protecting elected officials and candidates, executive state officers, election officials, and criminal justice participants against threats and incidents of political violence.

What this bill does

Adds protections against threats or harassment of elected officials by providing for increased penalties for the crime of harassment, expanding the Address Confidentiality Program to elected officials, and providing for residential security assessments and necessary personal security measures to address dangers or threats that would not exist but for the individual's status or duties as an elected official. Prohibits the disclosure of the residential address of elected officials, candidates, criminal justice participants, election officials, and those who reside with any such person, contained in campaign finance reports or records, property records, voter registration rolls, and candidate declarations. Expands the types of reimbursable out-of-pocket personal expenses for campaign and surplus funds to include expenses incurred to purchase a personal security measure. Creates the Legislative Member Security Account and authorizes a legislator to use funds from that account or their member business expense account to pay for necessary personal security measures.
