What’s in it

AI summary Certain government officials, including members of Congress and state legislators, can now ask to have their names hidden from public property records. The Secretary of State must also suggest ways to protect the home addresses of people running for office while still making sure they actually live in the area they want to represent. These suggestions must be given to the legislature by November 1, 2026.1

Read the official explanation

Under current law, a peace officer, a civilian employee of a law enforcement agency, a state or federal judicial officer, or 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 to Congress, statewide elected officials, and members of the general assembly to this list of people. The bill requires the secretary of the state to submit recommendations to the general assembly on how to protect information containing the personal residence of those seeking election while at the same time verifying the candidate’s place of residences for the purpose of meeting any applicable residency requirement. The recommendations are to be submitted before November 1, 2026.
