The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding the confidentiality of identifying information for eligible persons. Under the new provisions, an eligible person may request that the general public be prohibited from accessing their identifying information contained in recorded instruments maintained by the county recorder. This includes any data that could be used to identify the person directly or indirectly. The bill clarifies that this request does not apply to an eligible person's voter registration record and does not prohibit access to unredacted records by certain authorized parties, such as law enforcement officers and title insurers.

Additionally, the bill introduces a definition for "identifying information," which encompasses various types of recorded data that can uniquely identify an individual, including names, government-issued identifiers, and sensitive personal data. It specifies that identifying information does not include property identifiers like parcel numbers or addresses. The bill also makes technical and conforming changes to existing language, ensuring clarity and consistency in the application of these confidentiality measures.
