AI Summary

This bill expands "Daniel's Law," a law designed to protect the personal information of public servants, to include municipal court administrators and their immediate family members. The law, which currently prohibits the disclosure of home addresses and unlisted phone numbers for certain judicial officers, law enforcement, 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 publishing or otherwise making available the personal information of these individuals, with penalties including criminal prosecution and civil action for violations. The bill defines a municipal court administrator as someone employed by a county or municipality in that role, including acting or deputy administrators.
