Summary of purpose and/or changes:
This bill would add county treasurers to the list of local officials who are instructed to withhold from the public the

should their personal information be disclosed.
Explanation of amendments:
The committee amendment retains the provisions from LB 166 as introduced and incorporates a version of the

mailing addresses, and telephone numbers from the forms judges file when they seek voter approval of their retention
