Bill Summary · SSB 1129

Overview: SSB 1129, a bill relating to the address confidentiality program.

Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to expand and strengthen the state's address confidentiality program, which provides victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, and stalking with a substitute address to use in place of their actual address.

Key Provisions:
- Allows participants in the address confidentiality program to use their substitute address for voter registration and absentee voting.
- Requires the Secretary of State to maintain the confidentiality of participants' actual addresses.
- Enhances penalties for the unauthorized use or disclosure of a participant's actual address.

Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily benefit victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, and stalking by providing them with increased privacy and security protections. It could also impact the Secretary of State's office, which would be responsible for administering the expanded program.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been approved by a committee and renumbered as SF 457, indicating it is progressing through the legislative process. The next step would be consideration by the full state legislature.
