Last scannedAug 22, 2026, 1:27 AM
In one sentence
This law adds tribal judicial personnel to existing protections against threats, increases penalties for assaulting them or other protected staff, and allows them to keep their home addresses private on public records.
What it does
- Makes it a crime to threaten or intimidate any judicial personnel of an Indian tribe with the intent to make them act contrary to their duties.
- Expands enhanced penalty rules for assault and battery without a deadly weapon to include tribal judicial personnel, public defenders, and certain court staff.
- Allows tribal judicial personnel to get a court order that keeps their personal information confidential in records held by county recorders, assessors, or elections officials.
- Lets tribal judicial personnel ask the Department of Motor Vehicles to show an alternate address instead of their home address on driver's licenses and ID cards.
Who it affects
- Judicial personnel of Indian tribes
- Public defenders and certain court employees who already had enhanced protections
- People who threaten, assault, or batter these protected workers
- County recorders, assessors, elections officials, and the Department of Motor Vehicles
Limits and unknowns
- The exact list of who counts as 'judicial personnel' depends on federal law definitions not fully written out here.
- Enhanced penalties for assault and battery only apply if the attacker knew or should have known the victim was a protected officer.
