Relates to prohibiting the disclosure and publication of the home address or unpublished home telephone number of any active or retired judge or prosecutor

This bill prohibits the public disclosure or publication of the home address or unpublished home telephone number of any active or retired judge or prosecutor, including their spouse or child. It creates two new criminal offenses: a misdemeanor for reckless disclosure (Section 250.61) and a felony for intentional disclosure (Section 250.62). Violators face civil penalties of at least $1,000 per violation, plus damages, attorney fees, and possible punitive damages under the new Civil Rights Law Section 50-h. The law applies to individuals, businesses, and associations sharing this information online or otherwise under circumstances likely to cause harassment or harm.
