HB 433 requires the removal of residential addresses from all public campaign finance filings in Alabama. It directly affects candidates and officials who submit campaign finance reports by mandating that the Secretary of State redact these addresses before publishing filings on the public Alabama FCPA Reporting System database. The bill amends existing law to ensure home addresses are never visible in searchable online records of contributions or expenditures. This change applies to all electronic filings starting with the 2014 election cycle, as updated in the current text. The law will take effect on February 1, 2027.
