The bill also outlines the process for judicial officials to request the removal of their personal information from public access.

Key provisions include the requirement for judicial officials to provide written notification to the responsible authority to claim their rights under the law, and the establishment of exceptions for dissemination related to public concern or voluntary disclosure by the judicial official. The effective date for these provisions is set for August 1, 2024. Overall, the bill seeks to protect the safety and privacy of judicial officials while balancing the need for transparency in the judicial system.
