election officers; privacy protections

SB 1695 allows eligible individuals (including public officials, peace officers, domestic violence victims with protection orders, and others in danger) to request privacy for their personal information in public county property records. To qualify, applicants must file a legal form with specific details and proof of safety risks, which a court reviews to determine if restricting public access to their address, name, or property records is necessary for safety. If approved, the county recorder must hide this information for five years, preventing the public from accessing it online or in indexes. The bill directly affects people who file such requests, not election officers as the title incorrectly states - the focus is on property record privacy for safety reasons.
