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

HB 2851, the "Missouri Shield Act," allows current and former law enforcement officers and judges to request confidential protection of their residential addresses and phone numbers in public county records. Eligible individuals must file an affidavit with a presiding judge, who can approve shielding if it reduces safety risks, with orders lasting five years. County recorders must then block public electronic access to these details in documents like property records, while maintaining access for law enforcement, title insurers, and others under specific exceptions.
