The proposed "Judicial Protection Act" aims to enhance the safety of judges and their immediate family members by safeguarding their personal identifying information from public disclosure. The bill defines key terms such as "judge," "immediate family member," and "personal identifying information," and establishes a process for judges to request that public bodies or individuals refrain from publicly posting or displaying their personal information. Judges can submit written requests to remove any existing public postings of their information, which must be honored by the relevant public bodies within a specified timeframe. The act also outlines exceptions to these protections, such as when the information is relevant to news stories or voluntarily published by the judges themselves.

Additionally, the bill provides legal remedies for judges and their families if their requests are not complied with, allowing them to initiate civil actions for enforcement. It specifies that judges are not required to post security when seeking injunctive relief and mandates that they recover court costs and attorney fees if they succeed in their actions. The act is designed to be broadly interpreted to fulfill its purpose and will take effect on January 1, 2027, contingent upon the enactment of related legislation.
