Bill Summary

AN ACT ENTITLED An Act to amend provisions pertaining to the public availability of information contained in certain records.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing South Dakota law to clarify what information from voter registration records is publicly available. It specifies that while voter registration records are generally open for public inspection, certain sensitive personal information, such as social security numbers, driver's license numbers, and birth month and day, will not be disclosed. Additionally, the bill exempts the home addresses, personal phone numbers, and personal email addresses of current or retired state or federal judges and justices, as well as law enforcement officers, from public disclosure, while still allowing the city and county of their residence to be public record. The Unified Judicial System and the Division of Criminal Investigation will be responsible for providing lists of these individuals to the Secretary of State to ensure their personally identifiable information is protected.
