HF 839: Relating to the publication of candidates’ and elected officers’ home addresses

What it does

This bill provides that upon the request of a member of the general assembly, a county board of supervisors, a city council, or a board of directors of a school district, the governmental entity the individual serves must exclude the individual’s home address from official publications. The bill requires that an affidavit of candidacy for a partisan nomination, a nomination by a nonparty political organization, or a nomination by petition include a statement that the candidate is aware of the contents of Code section 70A.40, and prohibits the state commissioner of elections from publishing the home address of a candidate in any publicly available publication associated with the certification of nominations.
