HB 106 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Crimes and offenses; to further provide for the crime of doxing; to further provide for penalties

This bill updates Alabama's doxing law by making it a crime to intentionally share someone's personal information (like home addresses or photos of their children) online with the intent that others use it to harass or harm them, even if no actual harm occurs. It increases penalties for repeat offenses and specifically targets doxing directed at law enforcement officers, firefighters, or public servants, with higher penalties when these individuals are harmed or impeded in their duties. The law explicitly excludes protected political speech and publishing public officials' contact information for lobbying purposes. Penalties range from a Class A misdemeanor for a first offense to a Class B felony for repeat offenses targeting public servants.
