A bill for an act relating to the address confidentiality program.
This bill (HSB 74) updates Iowa's Address Confidentiality Program, which protects victims of domestic abuse, stalking, human trafficking, or safety threats by shielding their residential addresses. It allows participants to provide a shelter's name and contact info instead of a physical address for mail and registration, permits the program to hold mail for up to 30 days at a participant's request, and requires canceling voter registration if a participant is registered in another state. Participants can now register as absentee voters for their entire program certification period (instead of annually). The changes directly affect individuals enrolled in the program who need address privacy for safety.
