AI Summary
This bill allows individuals to opt out of having their names and addresses appear on public street lists if they can provide sufficient evidence that they are at a higher risk of becoming a victim of crimes like stalking or harassment, with examples of sufficient evidence including a history of domestic violence or living alone. The bill also modifies how these street lists are distributed, stating that they should be printed and made available upon request to specific municipal agencies such as local emergency medical services, the fire department, and the police department, but explicitly prohibits access by any other entity, organization, committee, or individual not listed. This aims to protect personal information while ensuring essential public services still have access to necessary data for their functions.
