Safe at Home Act

The Safe at Home Act requires federal agencies and courts to accept a designated address from state address confidentiality programs instead of an individual's actual home address. It directly affects participants in these programs - such as victims of domestic violence, witnesses, or others needing safety protections - who use the designated address for all federal interactions. Key provisions include prohibiting federal penalties for using the designated address, mandating agencies to update regulations within one year, and establishing strict procedures for disclosing physical addresses only in limited circumstances (e.g., court-ordered disclosure for criminal investigations). The law ensures physical addresses acquired through these procedures remain confidential under the Freedom of Information Act, with specific safeguards for how they can be used.
