SB 1320 (Stern) - Support - Victim Confidentiality

Existing law authorizes victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking to complete an application to be approved by the Secretary of State for the purpose of enabling state and local agencies to respond to requests for public records without disclosing a program participant’s residence address and otherwise provide for confidentiality for the person. This bill would make this program available to a victim of elder or dependent adult abuse.
