When a guardian or the department of social and health services or department of children, youth, and families has petitioned for relief on behalf of an abused child, adult dependent person, or vulnerable adult, the name of the person on whose behalf relief was sought must be included in the database as a party rather than the guardian or appropriate department;(b) A complete criminal history of the parties; and(c) Other relevant information necessary to assist courts in issuing orders under this chapter as determined by the judicial information system committee.(2) Information within the database must be easily accessible and accurately updated as soon as possible but no later than within one judicial day.(3) A document viewing system must be available as part of the judicial information system or other databases used by the court, so that in addition to having access to the summary information in subsection (1) of this section, the court is able to view any protection order filed within the state.Amended by 2022 c 268,§ 25, eff. 7/1/2022.Added by 2021 c 215,§ 66, eff. 7/1/2022.Effective dates- 2022 c 268 : See note following RCW 7.105.010.
