Require the county treasurer to maintain confidentiality of certain persons' residential addresses and change procedures for judicial officeholders to file for retention elections
LB 166 requires county treasurers to keep the residential addresses confidential for law enforcement officers, Nebraska National Guard members, and judges who apply. It also makes judicial retention election filings non-public records (though the Secretary of State must publish a list of names and districts). The bill updates candidate filing forms to include a sworn statement about election laws and an optional email field. These changes affect law enforcement, National Guard members, judges, judicial candidates, and all political candidates filing in Nebraska.
