identifying information; records; confidentiality

A new provision was added to Section 11-483 and Section 11-484 stating that the address confidentiality rules do not apply to an eligible person's voter registration record.

The definition of 'Eligible person' was reorganized into a single continuous paragraph to improve readability and ensure consistency across the text.

Minor formatting corrections were made to the definitions of 'Indexes' and 'Identifying information' to remove unnecessary line breaks and ensure consistent punctuation.

Added 'justice', 'hearing officer', 'probation officer', and 'national guard member' to the list of people eligible to request confidential records.

Expanded the definition of 'identifying information' to include biometric identifiers and unique digital identifiers, while explicitly excluding parcel numbers and property addresses.

Added a specific definition for 'law enforcement support staff member' to include investigators and prosecutorial assistants whose identities are revealed in public proceedings.

Added a new provision allowing courts to temporarily lift or permanently remove confidentiality orders if the original danger no longer exists or if there is an error in the redaction.

Added a requirement for county recorders to send expiration notices to relevant agencies and individuals at least six months before the five-year protection period ends.

Clarified that confidentiality orders do not restrict access for parties to the instrument, law enforcement officers with warrants, or licensed title and escrow agents.
