What’s in it

AI summary The Secretary of State's address confidentiality program helps people hide their location to stay safe from abuse or stalking. This change allows participants to use a shelter's contact information instead of the shelter's physical address. It also lets the state cancel a person's certification if they pass away and allows the state to hold a participant's mail for up to 30 days if requested.1

Read the official explanation

Under current law, the address confidentiality program managed by the secretary of state provides mail forwarding services to program participants who include victims of domestic abuse, domestic abuse assault, sexual abuse, assault, stalking, or human trafficking, and individuals who fear for their own safety or the safety of a household member. This bill allows the secretary to (1) accept as an eligible person’s residential or mailing address the name and other contact information of a shelter at which the eligible person resides in lieu of the shelter’s physical address, (2) cancel a deceased participant’s certification upon receiving reliable information, and (3) hold a participant’s mail for up to 30 days at the request of the participant.
