An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in domestic and sexual violence victim address confidentiality, further providing for definitions and for Address Confidentiality Program, providing for private entity use of designated address and further providing for disclosure of actual address and for waiver process.

Pennsylvania House Bill 2730 amends state law to strengthen address confidentiality for victims of domestic and sexual violence who participate in the state's Address Confidentiality Program. The bill requires private entities, such as banks and real estate companies, to accept a designated substitute address instead of the participant's actual home or work location, with specific exceptions for certain registered offenders. It also allows program participants to request that their real property records be shielded from public inspection when they buy land or a house, ensuring their true address remains hidden in county deed records. Finally, the legislation establishes a detailed process for government agencies and private entities to request access to a participant's actual address, requiring them to prove a specific need and implement safeguards to protect that information once disclosed.
