Bill > SB225

This bill expands the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) to protect victims of certain crimes, including those threatened with a deadly weapon, by allowing them to use a designated state address instead of their actual residence, school, or workplace address. It also exempts the addresses of judges and prosecutors from public disclosure, even if they are not part of the ACP, and makes related changes to election laws. The bill clarifies that certain information related to program participants and designated public service workers, such as their addresses, will be kept confidential and not considered public records under the state's public records law, which governs what information government entities must make available to the public. Additionally, it ensures that hearings related to election challenges or protests involving individuals with confidential voter registration records or those who are designated public service workers with redaction requests will not be open to the public, and their residence addresses will be redacted from public records.
