Bill > HB4079

This bill amends the Illinois Election Code to provide a mechanism for protecting the privacy of campaign committee officers by allowing them to request address redaction from public statements of organization. Specifically, the State Board of Elections will now be required to develop a standardized form that candidates or current campaign committee chairs can use to request the removal of addresses for current and past campaign committee officers. When such a request is made, the Board must redact these addresses before making the statements available for public inspection or copying. This change aims to enhance the personal security of individuals involved in campaign management by preventing their home or personal addresses from being publicly disclosed. The bill adds new responsibilities to the State Board of Elections, including creating the specific redaction request form and ensuring that addresses are removed from publicly available documents when requested. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law, providing quick implementation of these new privacy protections for campaign committee officers.
