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. The effective date for this change is set for October 1, 2025.

In addition to the address protection, the bill allows OAG employees to request address confidentiality from other public agencies, following the same procedures established for other covered individuals. Agencies receiving FOIA requests that mention an OAG employee who has requested confidentiality must redact the employee's home address from the records provided. However, the prohibition on disclosure does not apply to addresses contained in certain public documents, such as municipal land records or voter registration lists. Overall, the bill seeks to provide additional privacy safeguards for OAG employees without imposing any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities.
