The bill amends Section 38-2-2 of the General Laws in Chapter 38-2, which pertains to "Access to Public Records." It introduces a new definition for "public record" and specifies that the city or town of residence for justices, judges, and magistrates of the unified judicial system, as well as peace officers, will not be considered public information and will not be disclosed. This change aims to enhance privacy protections for these individuals. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
