HB 2767 Summary

• Adds "public official" as a protected class in confidentiality statutes covering county recorder, county assessor, county treasurer, voter registration, motor vehicle records, and personnel files.

• Expands confidentiality protections to allow public officials (elected or appointed to Congress, legislature, statewide office, or county/city/town/political subdivision office) to request sealing of their home address and identifying information from public records.

• Modifies nomination paper requirements for candidates to show only "city or town of residence" instead of actual residence address on ballots and nomination petitions.

• Makes it a class 5 felony to knowingly publish a public official's personal information (home address, phone number, photographs of home/vehicle) on the internet if it poses an imminent and serious threat to their safety.

• Requires county recorder, assessor, treasurer, and motor vehicle department to redact or restrict access to public officials' identifying information for five years upon court order, with restrictions removed by January 5 following expiration unless renewed.
