Bill Summary
Amend KRS 61.7991 to add state and federal prosecutors and public defenders to the definition of "covered person"; authorize standing for a civil action for injunctive or declaratory relief for unauthorized disclosure; provide that the removal of information does not apply to financial disclosures required under KRS Chapter 61.
AI Summary
This bill expands the protections of the Safe at Home Program, which provides designated addresses to individuals at risk of harm, to include state and federal prosecutors, public defenders, and attorneys working for the Attorney General's office or the Department of Public Advocacy. The bill also allows these legal professionals to apply for the program and clarifies that their participation will not invalidate a candidate's filing for office. Furthermore, it grants these individuals the right to pursue legal action for injunctive or declaratory relief if their protected information is improperly disclosed, though this does not apply to financial disclosures required by law.
