Bill > AB2624

This bill establishes an address confidentiality program for designated immigration support services providers, employees, and volunteers who face threats of violence or harassment due to their work, similar to existing protections for healthcare providers. Starting October 1, 2027, eligible individuals can apply to the Secretary of State to have their residential address kept confidential from public records, with the Secretary of State acting as an agent for service of process. The bill also prohibits the solicitation, sale, or trading of personal information or images of these individuals online with the intent to incite violence or threats, and makes it illegal to post such information online with the specific intent for it to be used imminently to commit a violent crime or threat of violence against them. This legislation aims to protect individuals providing vital services to immigrants from harassment and violence by ensuring their personal information, particularly their home addresses, remains private.
