NC S516

Requires counties to develop a process allowing specified law enforcement personnel, prosecutors, and judges to request removal of their personal information (including address and phone number) from county-maintained internet websites available to the public, including tax records.

Requires cities to develop an identical process for removal of personal information from city-maintained internet websites available to the public.

Eligible requestors include federal, state, or local law enforcement officers; state criminal magistrates; assistant district attorneys; North Carolina Department of Justice prosecutors; United States Attorneys or Assistant United States Attorneys; and federal judges.

Removal requests are confidential and not subject to public records disclosure; however, information removed from websites continues to be a public record subject to disclosure under North Carolina's public records law (Chapter 132).

Provides immunity from liability for counties and cities and their officers, employees, and agents acting in good faith to implement the removal process; counties and cities must develop and implement the process by October 1, 2015.
