Last scannedAug 22, 2026, 1:27 AM

In one sentence

This bill allows more government employees, including law enforcement staff, prosecutors' office workers, social workers in child welfare, and designated code enforcement officers, to ask a court to keep their home addresses private in official records.

Adds new groups of people who can request that county recorders hide their personal information from the public.
Includes employees of law enforcement agencies or prosecutor offices whose normal job duties involve interacting with the public and supporting agency operations.
Extends these protections to social workers employed by the state or local government who work in child welfare services, child protective services, or tasks exposing them to comparable dangers.
Allows inspectors, officers, or investigators designated by their employers to request confidential records if they have specialized training in code enforcement and interact with the public as a primary duty.
Updates existing laws so that county assessors must also follow these new rules for keeping addresses private.

Law enforcement employees and prosecutor office staff who interact with the public or support agency operations, including emergency dispatchers, record keepers, investigators, victim advocates, and administrative staff.
Social workers employed by the state or local government in child welfare services or tasks exposing them to comparable dangers.
Inspectors, officers, or investigators designated by their employers who have specialized training in code enforcement and interact with the public as a primary duty.
Judges, court clerks, election officials, peace officers, prosecutors, public defenders, county managers, and Office of the Attorney General employees already covered under existing laws.
Spouses, domestic partners, and minor children of the listed government employees.

Workers must still ask a court for an order before their information can be kept private; the bill does not make it automatic.
The text notes that this change may have a fiscal impact on local governments or the state, but it does not specify exactly how much.
