HB 6072 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT MAKING THE LOCATION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CENTERS AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES CONFIDENTIAL UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.

HB 6072 would amend state law to make the physical addresses of sexual assault and domestic violence victim centers, along with associated facilities, confidential under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This means the public and media would no longer be able to access these locations through FOIA requests. The bill also requires public agencies to discuss these centers or facilities in executive sessions during meetings, rather than in public. The stated purpose is to protect the safety of victims by preventing potential abusers from locating these critical service centers.
