An Act To Enhance The Safety Of Judicial And Elected Officials, Constitutional Officers And The State Auditor By Allowing Certain Personal Information To Be Removed From Designated Public Records
This bill creates a new Office of Information Privacy within the Department of the Secretary of State to protect the home addresses of judges, elected officials, and other public servants from public records. It allows authorized individuals, such as federal marshals or family members, to request that these officials' home addresses be removed from designated public documents and online resources. The law establishes a secure online system for submitting and managing these redaction requests while defining who qualifies as a covered person and who can act on their behalf. This change aims to enhance personal safety by limiting public access to sensitive location information for government officials and their immediate families.
