Bill > HB2184

This bill, known as the Protecting Legislators' Safety Act, aims to enhance the safety of state lawmakers by limiting the public disclosure of their personal contact information. Specifically, it amends existing laws to ensure that legislators' residence addresses and telephone numbers are kept confidential in voter registration affidavits, nomination papers, and electronic databases for campaign committees, without requiring them to prove a life-threatening circumstance. While this information will still be collected and used by election officials for administrative and verification purposes, it will be redacted from any nomination papers made available to the general public online. The bill also clarifies that this confidentiality does not prevent disclosure when legally required for election challenges or to determine a legislator's qualifications.
