Personal Information - Public Servant Protections

SB 121 would create a program allowing specific public servants and their immediate family members (including prosecutors, law enforcement officers, elected officials, and their spouses/children) to request that government entities or individuals remove their personal information - including home addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and license plate details - from public online platforms like government websites or social media. The bill requires government entities to remove such information within 72 hours of a written request and establishes legal remedies, including injunctions and attorney fees, for violations. It also imposes criminal penalties for knowingly publishing protected individuals' personal information. This bill, currently pre-filed and awaiting committee hearings, does not yet apply as law.
