GOVERNOR SIGNS PRICE BILL TO PROTECT
VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND STALKING
AB 603 Protects the Confidentiality of Victims' Voter Registration
Information
Sacramento , CA -
A bill by Assembly Member Curren Price to protect the privacy and safety of
victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking was signed by
Governor Schwarzenegger.
AB 603 ensures the continued operation of a portion of the Safe at Home
program that allows victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking
to have their voter registration information made confidential if they have
reason to fear for their safety.
California's Safe at Home program, in operation
since 1999, allows victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking,
and reproductive health care service providers, employees, volunteers, and
patients, to keep their residential addresses confidential by providing a
substitute address for use by state and local agencies in public records.
Participants in the Safe at Home program use a substitute address
provided by the Secretary of State, who forwards their mail to their actual
addresses. State and local agencies are required to accept the substitute
address when presented with proof that a person is participating in the program.
Last year, the Legislature extended the operation of
the Safe at Home program until at least 2013, but the confidential voter
registration portion of the project was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2008.
While the voters' registration information is confidential, and access to such
information is limited, participants in the Safe at Home program will also have
their addresses and phone numbers kept confidential from candidates and campaign
workers. "The Safe at Home program has helped protect the privacy
and safety of thousands of victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and
stalking," said Assembly Member Price, Chair of the Assembly Elections
&Redistricting Committee. "AB 603 ensures that those victims can continue
to exercise their most basic right - the right to vote - without having to fear
for their safety and security."
AB 603 was approved unanimously by both houses of the
Legislature, and will take effect on January 1, 2008. It is the fourth of
freshman Assembly Member Price's bills that have been signed by the governor. |
