Summary

The Judicial Home Security Act lets current or former state judges apply to replace their home address with a post‑office box or private mailbox in any public record. Once approved, state and local agencies must use the alternate address instead of the judge’s real home address. The law aims to protect judges and their families from threats and harassment.
