Summary

Existing law establishes an address confidentiality program for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking, or elder or dependent adult abuse, commonly known as the Safe at Home program, under which an adult person, or a guardian on behalf of a minor or an incapacitated person, states that the person is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking, or elder or dependent adult abuse and designates the Secretary of State as the agent for service of process and receipt of mail. Under existing law, when the Secretary of State certifies the person as a program participant, the person's actual address is confidential. Existing law requires the Secretary of State to, upon certification, notify the other parent, pursuant to specified provisions, unless there is a court order prohibiting contact. This bill would specify that notification is required unless there is a court order prohibiting contact between the other parent or parents or guardian and the minor child or children of the participant. Existing law requires service on the Secretary of State of any summons, writ, notice, demand, or process to be made by delivering 2 copies of the summons, writ, notice, demand, or process. This bill would instead require one copy of the summons, writ, notice, demand, or process to be delivered to the Secretary of State. Existing law authorizes a program participant to withdraw from program participation by submitting to the Secretary of State written notification of withdrawal and the program participant's current identification card. Existing law authorizes the Secretary of State to terminate a program participant's certification and invalidate the program participant's authorization card for certain reasons, including that the Secretary of State has determined that false information was used in the application process to qualify as a program participant or that participation in the program is being used as a subterfuge to avoid detection of illegal or criminal activity or apprehension by law enforcement. This bill would instead authorize the Secretary of State to terminate a program participant's certification and invalidate the program participant's authorization card if the Secretary of State has been informed that another state agency made the determination described above and would additionally authorize the Secretary of State to terminate a program participant's certification and invalidate the program participant's authorization card if the program participant moves from their California place of residence to relocate out of state. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Sections 6206 and 6206.7 of the Government Code proposed by AB 1726 to be operative only if this bill and AB 1726 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
