Senate Bill No. 1433 aims to enhance the privacy protections for employees of the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) by exempting their residential addresses from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The bill amends subsection (a) of section 1-217 of the general statutes, which previously listed various public officials and employees whose home addresses are protected from public disclosure. The new legal language adds OAG employees to this list, specifically stating that no public agency may disclose their residential addresses from personnel, medical, or similar files. Additionally, the bill allows OAG employees to request address confidentiality from other public agencies, following the same procedures established for other covered individuals.

The bill also clarifies that while OAG employees' home addresses are protected from disclosure in specific records, they may still be disclosed in certain types of documents, such as municipal land records, voter registry lists, and municipal grand lists. The effective date for this legislation is set for October 1, 2025. Overall, the bill seeks to provide OAG employees with similar privacy protections already afforded to other public officials and employees, ensuring their residential addresses remain confidential in the interest of their safety and privacy.
