religious leader; personal information; confidentiality

HB 2123 would allow certain individuals at risk (including public officials, peace officers, and people with protection orders) to request that their personal information - such as home addresses and full names - be removed from public county records. To qualify, applicants must file an affidavit detailing safety concerns and specific property details; a judge would then review the request and, if approved, block public access to that information for five years. The bill applies to documents recorded by county recorders, such as property deeds, and requires counties to restrict access after court approval. This is pending legislative action in Arizona (currently on the House Consent Calendar). Note: The bill’s title mentions "religious leader," but the text focuses on safety-related confidentiality for a broader group of at-risk individuals.
