The proposed bill amends Chapter 8-15 of the General Laws, introducing the "Rhode Island Judicial Security Act," which aims to protect the personal information of judicial officers and their immediate family members. Key definitions are established, including "data broker," "protected individual," and "personal information," which encompasses sensitive data such as Social Security numbers and home addresses. The bill mandates that no state, county, or municipal agency can publicly display the personal information of a protected individual without their written consent. Additionally, it allows protected individuals to request that their information be marked as confidential and requires agencies to remove such information from public access within 72 hours of receiving a request.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits data brokers from selling or disclosing the personal information of protected individuals and their families without consent. It establishes a process for individuals to notify data brokers and other entities to keep their information confidential, with similar removal requirements. If a violation occurs, affected individuals can seek legal remedies, including injunctive or declaratory relief, and may recover costs and attorney fees. This act is designed to enhance the security and privacy of judicial officers and their families, taking effect upon passage.
