Bill Summary
This bill prohibits the disclosure of the home address of a person seeking election to a public office, a current elected official, a former elected official, and any person seeking election to a public office. Under the bill, as amended, "elected official" means any person holding a State or local government office which, under the State Constitution or by law, is filled by the registered voters of a jurisdiction at an election, including a person appointed, selected or otherwise designated to fill a vacancy in such office, but does not mean an official of a political party. Elected official also includes any person seeking election to a public office. A amended, the bill makes the redaction requirements and process for elected officials and their immediate family members consistent with that process being implemented under current law for other covered persons and their immediate family members.
AI Summary
This bill expands protections for elected officials and candidates for elected office by requiring the redaction and nondisclosure of their home addresses from public records. An "elected official" is defined as someone holding a state or local government office filled by voters, including appointed officials but excluding political party officials, and also includes anyone seeking such an office. The bill ensures that the process for redacting and keeping the home addresses of elected officials and their immediate family members confidential is consistent with existing procedures for other protected individuals. This aims to enhance the safety and privacy of those in public service and those aspiring to it.
