AN ACT PROHIBITING THE DISCLOSURE OF THE RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS OF FEDERAL PROSECUTORS AND DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY SERVICES AND PUBLIC PROTECTION ATTORNEYS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.

HB 6070 would amend Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act to prevent the public disclosure of home addresses for two specific groups: U.S. Attorneys for Connecticut's federal district and attorneys working for the state's Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. The bill directly affects these federal and state legal professionals by adding their residential addresses to the list of information exempt from public disclosure under FOIA. This change would require government agencies to withhold these addresses when responding to public records requests, rather than releasing them as they currently might. The bill focuses solely on modifying disclosure rules, not on altering the roles or responsibilities of the affected attorneys.
