This bill establishes an address confidentiality program within the Department of Administration in Alaska, aimed at protecting the addresses of individuals who are at risk, such as victims of domestic violence, stalking, and other serious crimes. The program will provide enrolled individuals with a substitute mailing address, maintain the confidentiality of their actual addresses, and allow for the forwarding of their mail. The bill outlines the eligibility criteria for enrollment, which includes victims with protective orders, peace officers, and correctional officers, while explicitly prohibiting individuals required to register under certain laws from participating.

Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes to include the administration of this new program and introduces penalties for unauthorized disclosure of confidential information related to the program. The Department of Administration is tasked with implementing the program and may adopt necessary regulations to facilitate its operation. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, with immediate provisions for regulatory adoption.
