AI Summary

This bill: Allows eligible persons, including health professionals, election officers, public officials, peace officers, and certain other government employees and their family members, to request that their identifying information, such as home addresses and telephone numbers, be restricted from public access in records maintained by county recorders, assessors, treasurers, and the Department of Transportation. The bill establishes an affidavit process for these requests, which must be reviewed by a judge to determine if restricting the information would reduce a danger to the person's safety. The bill also prohibits the public release of personal information of election officers if it poses an imminent threat to their safety or their family's safety, and creates a misdemeanor offense for violating this provision. Additionally, the bill amends various definitions related to "election officer" and restricts the release of certain information about peace officers by government agencies.
