Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Senate Bill 928 now clarifies the definition of "judicial officer" by expanding it to include additional roles, such as tribal judges and reserve judges. This change is important because it ensures that the judicial security profiles of a wider range of judicial figures are protected from public disclosure. By keeping these profiles confidential, the bill aims to enhance the safety and security of judges and court officials.
