Relating to protection of personal information

HB 5337, titled "Daniel's Law," protects the personal information of certain West Virginia public officials by prohibiting the disclosure of home addresses and unpublished home or personal phone numbers without written consent. It directly affects active, retired, or former state legislators, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, and law enforcement officers, along with their immediate family members living in the same household. The bill requires government agencies and private entities to obtain written permission before sharing this information, and it creates civil liability for violations, including minimum $1,000 damages per incident. This law aims to enhance safety by preventing harassment or harm related to public officials' personal details.
