Bill > HF1567

This bill, effective August 1, 2026, aims to protect the personal information of public safety officers, which includes peace officers and correctional officers, by making their personal details, such as home addresses, non-employer-issued phone numbers and emails, and information about their children, classified as private data. This means government entities must keep this information confidential, with exceptions for certain publicly available records like property deeds and tax liens. The bill also amends existing law to prohibit the knowing public dissemination of such personal information if it poses an imminent threat to the officer or their family, with penalties escalating for more severe violations, and allows public safety officers to request the removal of their personal information from the internet, with legal recourse available if the information is not removed within 30 days.
