Idaho Government Code
Legislature Of The State Of Idaho – Senate Bill No. 1378
RS19655
Judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers and their families often face very real threats of harm or death, both on and off-duty, in the routine order of upholding the laws of the State of Idaho. Keeping their home addresses confidential is a key element of providing safety and peace of mind to these public servants, their spouses and their children.
This Legislation provides residential address and telephone number public record confidentiality for judges, prosecutors, peace officers, federal peace officers, correction officers, probation officers and parole officers living in Idaho, who voluntarily participate in the Address Confidentiality For Law Enforcement Officers Program. Officers would provide a personally coordinated mailing address that would be used for public disclosure if they elect to participate in the program.
