The bill amends subsection 1 of section 44-04-18.3 of the North Dakota Century Code to enhance the confidentiality protections for certain individuals associated with the judicial and law enforcement systems. Specifically, it adds the titles "justice of the United States," "federal judge," and "magistrate judge" to the list of positions whose home addresses and telephone numbers are considered confidential. This amendment aims to safeguard the personal information of these judicial figures alongside existing protections for prosecutors, supreme court justices, district court judges, judicial referees, juvenile court directors, probation officers, and employees of law enforcement and correctional facilities.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions that restrict the disclosure of personnel records for employees of the department of corrections and rehabilitation, as well as law enforcement officers, to inmates in legal custody unless authorized by the relevant authorities. This ensures that sensitive information remains protected from unauthorized access, thereby enhancing the safety and privacy of individuals working within the justice system.
