This bill amends section 32-607 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to enhance the confidentiality of personal information for judges seeking retention. Specifically, it introduces a provision that mandates the residence address, mailing address, and telephone number of judges on candidate filing forms to be kept confidential by the filing officer. This change aims to protect the privacy of judges during the retention process.
Additionally, the bill maintains the existing requirements for candidate filing forms, which include a sworn statement of eligibility, personal information such as name and party affiliation, and a declaration regarding any civil penalties owed. The original section 32-607 is repealed, indicating that the new language will replace the previous version entirely.
