Bill > HB104

This bill establishes an Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) within the Department of Administration to protect the confidential addresses of certain vulnerable individuals. Eligible participants include victims of domestic violence, stalking, human trafficking, sexual assault, guardians of minors with protective orders, peace officers, correctional officers, and household members of those enrolled in the program. The program will provide participants with a designated post office box as a substitute mailing address and forward mail to their actual residential, school, or work address while maintaining address confidentiality. Enrollment is for five-year periods, with mandatory removal if participants fail to renew or become required to register as sex offenders. State and municipal agencies must accept the program's post office box as an official mailing address, and no registration fee will be charged. The bill includes strict confidentiality protections, making it a class B misdemeanor for unauthorized disclosure of participant addresses. Individuals required to register as sex offenders are explicitly prohibited from participating in the program. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, with provisions for the Department of Administration to develop necessary implementing regulations.
