On page 2, line 1, after "(2)" strike "Every county must" and insert "Any county may"

On page 4, after line 8, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 29A.12 RCW to read as follows:

By December 1, 2024, the office of the secretary of state must, in consultation with the Washington state association of county auditors, submit a report, in compliance with RCW 43.01.036, to the chairs and ranking members of the appropriate legislative committees from the senate and house of representatives regarding the efficacy of the Albert intrusion detection system and other methods for detecting malicious activity and security breaches. For the purposes of this section "malicious activity" and "security breach" have the same meaning as in RCW 29A.12.180."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.

Correct the title.

EFFECT:   Makes it permissive rather than mandatory that counties install an intrusion detection system. Requires the Office of the Secretary of State to submit a report, in consultation with the Washington State Association of County Auditors, on the efficacy of the Albert intrusion detection system and other methods for detecting malicious activity and security breaches.
