Bill > HB141

This bill, effective January 1, 2026, aims to protect private information in court filings by prohibiting the inclusion of the first five digits of social security numbers, tax identification numbers, state identification numbers, driver's license numbers, and financial account numbers in all court documents filed by attorneys, with the exception of expungement proceedings in criminal cases. It also removes the prohibition on filing full dates of birth from these documents, while still requiring filers to ensure no other information protected by state or federal law is disclosed. The bill also clarifies that for electronic filings, the electronic record will be considered the official record, and public access to these filings will follow the same rules as paper filings, with a note that prosecuting agencies may still be required to provide certain information in criminal cases.
