Overview: Bill Number: A 3472, Title: In relation to enrollment eligibility for election officials in the address confidentiality program, Status: REFERRED TO GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS, Introduced: January 27, 2025

Purpose and Intent: This bill seeks to expand eligibility for the New York Address Confidentiality Program to include election officials, such as poll workers and election inspectors. The program allows participants to use an alternative mailing address to protect their personal information from being publicly disclosed.

Key Provisions:
- Adds election officials to the list of eligible participants in the Address Confidentiality Program
- Allows election officials to enroll in the program to keep their residential address confidential
- Requires the Department of State to develop procedures for election officials to apply and participate in the program

Affected Parties and Impacts: The primary beneficiaries of this bill would be election officials, who would gain the ability to protect their personal addresses from being publicly accessible. This could enhance the safety and security of those serving in critical election administration roles.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the Governmental Operations committee for further review and consideration. If passed, the Department of State would need to establish the necessary enrollment procedures and guidelines within 6 months of the bill's effective date.
