Bill > HB2327

This bill expands the definition of "identifying information" to include any data that can be used directly or indirectly to identify an individual, and clarifies that this protection applies to records maintained by the county recorder, assessor, and treasurer, with the exception of voter registration records. An "eligible person," such as a peace officer, public official, or someone protected by a court order, can request that their identifying information be kept confidential from the public by filing an affidavit with the court, demonstrating a reasonable belief that their life or safety is in danger. This protection, which can last for five years, aims to reduce danger by restricting public access to sensitive personal details within recorded documents and other official records, while still allowing access for specific purposes like legal proceedings or by certain professionals such as title insurers.
