What’s in it
AI summary Local government officials and candidates can request that their home addresses be kept out of official public documents. If a person running for office asks, the state cannot include their home address in any public lists or publications. This change helps protect the privacy of people serving in government or running for election.1
Read the official explanation
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.
