The proposed bill amends Title 44 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new chapter, CHAPTER 9, which focuses on the protection of personal data for certain public servants, including judges and lawmakers. The bill outlines the scope of the chapter, findings regarding the threats faced by public servants due to the dissemination of their personal information by data brokers, and the need for enhanced privacy protections. It establishes definitions for key terms, such as "covered person," "data broker," and "protected information," which includes home addresses, phone numbers, and other personal identifiers.

The bill imposes specific duties on data brokers to cease the disclosure of protected information upon receiving written notice from a covered person or their authorized agent. It also outlines civil and criminal enforcement mechanisms for violations, including potential civil liability for data brokers and criminal penalties for reckless or intentional violations. The nondisclosure protections are designed to last for the lifetime of the principal person and for a specified duration for associated persons. The act aims to ensure that public servants can perform their duties without fear of personal reprisal, thereby fostering a safer environment for public service.
