AI Summary
This bill expands "Daniel's Law," a law designed to protect the personal information of certain public officials, to include municipal court administrators and deputy court administrators. The law, which currently prohibits the disclosure of home addresses and unlisted phone numbers for individuals like judges, law enforcement officers, and child protective investigators, will now also protect this information for municipal court administrators. This means that government entities and private parties will be prohibited from sharing the personal information of these court administrators, and violations can lead to criminal prosecution and civil action, aiming to enhance their safety and security while they perform their duties.
