Address Confidentiality Program, Redaction of Information (5494XD) - Secretary of State

This bill requires both assessors and recorders (not just assessors) to redact the name of an address confidentiality program participant from electronic public documents on internet sites when requested. It applies directly to participants in Iowa's address confidentiality program, such as victims of domestic violence or threats who need to protect their home addresses. The key mechanism mandates that these officials implement a process to handle redaction requests without charging any fee. The bill updates existing law by expanding the responsible parties beyond assessors to include recorders and removing references to "assessor's staff" for the redaction requirement.
