AB1037,1,2
1An Act to create 165.68 (2) (a) 2. c. of the statutes;
relating to: address
2confidentiality program.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Justice administers an address
confidentiality program, known as “Safe at Home,” that provides certain victims of
domestic abuse with a substitute legal address that can be used for both public and
private purposes so that the victim's home address can remain confidential. Under
current law, a person qualifies to participate in the Safe at Home program if he or
she is the victim of abuse, is the parent or guardian of a person who is a victim of
abuse, resides in a household with a person who is a victim of abuse, or fears for his
or her physical safety or for the physical safety of his or her child.
This bill adds that a person qualifies for the Safe at Home program if the person
is a parent, guardian, or legal custodian of a child who was the victim of child
abduction.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
