This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Senate Bill 12, the focus on addressing the confidentiality of information was expanded to specifically include the addresses of correctional officers as well as crime victims and witnesses. This change aims to enhance the protection of individuals involved in the criminal justice system, making it harder for their private information to be disclosed, which is crucial for their safety. By ensuring that all enrolled participants in the address confidentiality program are included, the bill emphasizes the importance of safeguarding personal information from potential harassment or invasion of privacy.
