Safe at Home Act
S 2676, the Safe at Home Act, requires federal agencies and courts to accept a "designated address" provided by state address confidentiality programs instead of a participant's actual home address. This directly affects individuals enrolled in these state programs, such as victims of domestic violence or stalking, who use the program's fake address and mail forwarding service for privacy. The bill mandates federal agencies to update their rules within one year to comply, prohibits penalties for using the designated address, and restricts disclosure of the real address to only specific cases (like criminal investigations or federal agency needs) with strict confidentiality rules. Federal courts or agencies seeking real addresses must follow state program procedures, and any disclosed real address must remain confidential under the Freedom of Information Act.
