What’s in it

Under current law, a peace officer, a civilian employee of a law enforcement agency, a state or federal judicial officer, or a state or federal prosecutor may request their name be redacted from documents made public by the county assessor or county recorder. This bill adds United States senators, representatives in Congress, statewide elected officials, members of the general assembly, and local partisan elected officials to this list of people.
