An Act relating to the duties of the Department of Administration; creating an address confidentiality program; and providing for an effective date.
This bill establishes a legal framework in Alaska to protect the safety and privacy of crime victims, witnesses, and law enforcement officers enrolled in an address confidentiality program. It mandates that public records containing the home or business addresses and phone numbers of these individuals must be redacted before being made available for public inspection. Additionally, the legislation restricts the disclosure of this sensitive information during court proceedings unless a judge determines it is essential for the case and takes steps to minimize potential harm. The law also clarifies the definition of a correctional officer to include those working in state and qualifying municipal facilities.
