House Bill No. by Representative Bacala amends R.S. 44:11.2(J) to clarify the limitations on the publication of personal information for individuals recognized as "protected individuals." The bill specifies that these individuals are not exempt from having their personal information published by both the office of the secretary of state and a district clerk of court. This change means that protected individuals cannot request the removal of their personal information from records that are publicly posted by these entities.

The proposed law retains the existing provisions that limit access to personal information of protected individuals while expanding the scope of publication to include district clerks of court. This amendment ensures that the personal information of protected individuals can be published in certain instances, thereby reinforcing the transparency of public records while still recognizing the need for some level of protection for these individuals.
