Voter Information; limit cost of reproducing voter registration list; crime for misuse of personal voter information; created

HB 67 limits the cost for obtaining voter registration lists in Alabama to $1,000 per electronic copy and prohibits the distribution of specific confidential voter information, including Social Security numbers, driver license numbers, birth dates, email addresses, and phone numbers. The bill directly affects anyone requesting voter lists (such as researchers, journalists, or political groups) and the Secretary of State’s office, which must enforce these rules. Key provisions ban commercial use of voter data and require the Secretary of State to post a clear fee schedule online. It does not restrict government agencies from accessing confidential data for official purposes, as specified under existing law. The bill aims to prevent misuse of personal voter information while maintaining access for legitimate non-commercial requests.
