Enacts provisions relating to confidentiality of residential addresses of law enforcement officers and judges

HB 1296, the "Missouri Shield Act," allows current or former law enforcement officers and judges to request privacy for their home addresses and phone numbers in publicly recorded county documents. Eligible individuals can file an affidavit with specific property details, and a judge must approve the request if it reduces safety risks to the person or others. Approved requests shield the address and phone number for five years, requiring renewal before expiration. The law permits limited access by law enforcement on duty, title insurers, licensed attorneys, and others with legal authority, but prohibits public electronic access to these details in county records.
