Bill Summary
CONCERNING THE ABILITY OF A FIRST RESPONDER OR THE SPOUSE OF A FIRST RESPONDER TO REQUEST THAT THE ADDRESS IN THEIR VOTER REGISTRATION RECORDS MAINTAINED BY THE COUNTY CLERK AND RECORDER OR THE SECRETARY OF STATE BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL.
AI Summary
This bill allows first responders and their spouses or civil union partners to request that their address be kept confidential in voter registration records to protect them from potential criminal harassment or bodily harm. The bill defines "first responders" as peace officers, firefighters (both professional and volunteer), emergency medical service providers, emergency communications specialists, and their spouses or civil union partners. To request confidentiality, individuals must submit an application form to their county clerk and recorder, affirming under penalty of perjury that they meet the eligibility requirements. The county clerk and recorder must make these forms available through various methods, including mail, email, and fax, and process the requests without charging a fee. Once approved, the address of the first responder or their spouse will be kept confidential in public records, with only limited exceptions for inspection by the individual, their written designee, or authorized personnel from specific entities. The bill aims to provide an additional layer of privacy and protection for those who serve in critical public safety roles.
