AI Summary
This bill amends the Election Law to authorize the confidentiality of voter registration records for victims of sexual violence. Specifically, the bill defines "victim of sexual violence" as a person who has been the victim of any offense under Article 130 of the Penal Law. It allows a victim to petition the Supreme Court in the county where they are registered to vote to have their registration record kept separate and not made available for public inspection or copying, except for election officials acting within the scope of their duties. The bill takes effect 120 days after becoming law, with the necessary rules and regulations authorized to be implemented by that date.
