This bill amends Iowa Code Section 331.604 to expand the list of individuals eligible to request the redaction of their personally identifiable information from electronic documents displayed for public access by county assessors and county recorders. Currently, the law allows peace officers, civilian employees of law enforcement agencies, state or federal judicial officers, and state or federal prosecutors to request such redaction. The bill adds United States senators, representatives in Congress, statewide elected officials, members of the general assembly, and local partisan elected officials to this list.

Additionally, the bill removes a specific subparagraph from the same section, which may streamline the process or clarify the eligibility criteria for redaction requests. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance privacy protections for a broader range of public officials by allowing them to keep their names confidential in publicly accessible electronic documents.
