Bill > HB0102

This bill amends existing law to enhance crime victims' privacy rights by allowing victims, for offenses occurring on or after July 1, 2026, to request that their initials be used instead of their full names in publicly accessible criminal justice documents created by various government agencies, such as charging documents and court filings, with exceptions for documents related to criminal protective orders, criminal stalking injunctions, and those created by the Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division. The bill also clarifies what constitutes a "publicly available" document, meaning it's accessible to the general public even if a fee is required, but not if it's only available to parties involved in a case, and requires entities to maintain victim information to respond to court orders for disclosure.
