Summary

The bill widens Ohio’s Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) to keep the home addresses of judges and prosecutors private, and it creates new rules for how victims, application assistants, and public officials handle confidential information. It also revises public‑record definitions, redaction requirements, and penalties for violations, and sets procedures for election‑board applications involving certain public‑service workers. The changes aim to improve safety for victims and officials while clarifying record‑access rights.
