The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedures to expand eligibility and change application requirements for participants in the Address Confidentiality Program to include certain victims of family violence, sexual assault or abuse, stalking, or trafficking of persons. The bill would amend the Election Code and the Tax Code to expand confidentiality provisions to include certain victims of family violence, sexual assault or abuse, stalking, or trafficking of persons. The Office of Court Administration and the Department of Family and Protective Services indicate that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed within current resources.
