CA AB1682

Authorizes county boards of supervisors and city councils to establish procedures allowing sheriffs and police chiefs to protect current address information of crime victims in police, arrest, and investigative reports if the victim requests confidentiality.

Limits the scope of the California Public Records Act's disclosure requirements for victim addresses by making them subject to confidentiality procedures adopted by law enforcement agencies.

Exempts procedures established under this bill from disclosure requirements in criminal discovery (Chapter 10), Evidence Code provisions (Sections 1040-1042), sealed search warrant affidavits, and criminal defense counsel access to reports.

Excludes victims of specified serious crimes (sex crimes, human trafficking, domestic violence, stalking, hate crimes) whose addresses must remain confidential regardless of the crime scene location.

Applies the victim address protection procedures as an exception to California Rules of Court Rule 2.550 regarding public access to court records.
