The proposed bill aims to prohibit the electronic publication of specific personal information regarding judicial and law enforcement officers, including their home addresses, dates of birth, and social security numbers. This prohibition is contingent upon obtaining the officer's consent and is specifically targeted at preventing the dissemination of such information with the intent to instill fear for the officer's safety or that of their immediate family.
Violating this new provision would be classified as a Class 6 felony, thereby establishing a legal framework to protect the privacy and safety of these officers. The bill underscores the importance of safeguarding the personal information of individuals in these critical public service roles from potential threats and harassment.
