Bill Summary

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 61 to define terms; prohibit the disclosure of personally identifiable information of judicial officers or their immediate family members by a government agency if a written request not to disclose the information has been made; require a government agency to remove personally identifiable information of a judicial officer or immediate family member within 72 hours of receiving a written request for its removal; establish a civil cause of action for injunctive or declaratory relief for unauthorized disclosure.

AI Summary

This bill creates new protections for personally identifiable information (PII) of judicial officers and their immediate family members. It defines "judicial officer" broadly to include federal and state judges, magistrates, and other judicial positions, and establishes that a covered person can request a government agency remove their PII from publicly available content within 72 hours of making a written request. The bill specifies that PII includes sensitive information like home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers, and details about children's schools. A parent or guardian can make such a request on behalf of a minor. If a government agency fails to remove the requested information, the covered person may seek injunctive or declaratory relief in court. The law aims to protect judges and their families from potential privacy risks by giving them control over the public disclosure of their personal information, with the goal of enhancing their safety and security by limiting unauthorized public access to sensitive personal details.
