Summary

This Act allows for correctional officers employed with the Department of Correction to make a written request that their personal information not be published and remain confidential. The Act takes effect 180 days following its enactment. The substitute bill changes the following from the original bill: (1) Adds an applicability section clarifying these privacy protections only apply for correctional officers who serve or have served with the Department of Correction on the enactment date. (2) Retains the original language of “publicly posts” as opposed to “knowingly posts”. (3) Changes the duration period of the written request to two years. (4) Clarifies that a correctional officer that is removed for cause or fired will have their written request immediately removed. (5) Allows for renewal of written requests by correctional officers who remain employed with the Department of Correction. (6) Allows for a correctional officer to revoke their written request. (7) Allows for a correctional officer who retires or leaves the job in good standing to obtain a two-year extension of their written request from the date of their retirement or date of leave.
