The proposed Judicial Privacy Act aims to enhance the privacy protections for judges and justices by prohibiting the public disclosure of their personal information, such as home addresses and phone numbers, without their consent. The bill mandates that government agencies must remove such information from their websites within ten business days of receiving a written request from the judicial officer, while individuals and businesses must comply within 72 hours. It also establishes a process for judges to request confidentiality for their personal information and that of their immediate family members, which remains valid until revoked or upon the officer's death. Violations of these provisions, particularly the unlawful posting of personal information that threatens safety, are classified as a Class C felony.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that government employees are not in violation of the act if they publish personal information in good faith as part of their official duties, provided they adhere to the specified conditions. The Alabama Administrative Office of Courts will maintain a list of judicial officers who have requested privacy, which will be shared with relevant agencies. While the bill may necessitate new or increased local funding, it is exempt from additional requirements under the Alabama Constitution due to its focus on defining or amending criminal offenses. The act is set to take effect three months after its passage and approval by the Governor.
