Requires that websites providing incarcerated individual information be searchable by the incarcerated individual's name, former name or alias

This bill requires government websites that publish records about incarcerated individuals to allow users to search for people by their current name, former legal name, or any known alias. It applies to sites maintained by the state department that display conviction information for individuals who are not currently serving sentences for specific offenses like sex crimes or those ineligible for early release. The law mandates that these search functions be programmed to successfully retrieve records when any of these name variations are entered. This change directly affects how the public can locate information about former inmates online, ensuring that searches remain effective even if a person's name has changed.
