Bill > S00257

This bill amends the Election Law to allow victims of sexual violence to apply to the Supreme Court to have their voter registration records kept confidential and not made available to the public or other individuals, except for election officials who need the information for their official duties. The bill defines "victim of sexual violence" as a person who has been the victim of an offense under Article 130 of the Penal Law, which covers various sexual offenses. The bill will take effect 120 days after it becomes law, and any necessary rules and regulations can be implemented immediately.
