AI Summary
This bill classifies data in the statewide voter registration system as either public or private data. It designates certain personal information, such as voter's date of birth, driver's license number, and Social Security number, as private data that is not available to the public. The bill also allows voters to request that their name be withheld from the public information list for safety reasons. Additionally, the bill maintains a separate list of voters who participated in the presidential nomination primary, with that information classified as private data, except that it must be provided to the chairs of the major political parties. The bill repeals provisions that previously required certain voter information, like date of birth and Social Security number, to be withheld from public lists.
