HB334 Alabama 2017 Session
Bill Summary
Under existing law, certain government employees must annually file with the Ethics Commission a statement of economic interests, which includes, among other things, the residential address and businesses of the employee and the names, residential addresses, and businesses of certain relatives of the employee. An undercover law enforcement officer may request that his or her residential address and names of relatives provided in the officer's statement of economic interests be exempt from public scrutiny by filing an affidavit stating that publicizing this information would potentially endanger the officer's family
This bill would exempt from public scrutiny the residential address and addresses and names of family members of all law enforcement officers, district attorneys, and assistant district attorneys without having to file an affidavit
This bill would also require the Ethics Commission to remove from public disclosure the residential address and addresses and names of family members of the officer or attorney listed on past economic statements if so requested
Relating to law enforcement officers; to amend Section 36-25-14, Code of Alabama 1975; to automatically exempt from public scrutiny the residential address and addresses and names of family members of a law enforcement officer, district attorney, or an assistant district attorney that are listed on the officer's or attorney's statement of economic interests filed with the Ethics Commission on an annual basis; and to require the Ethics Commission to remove from public disclosure the residential address and addresses and names of family members of the officer or attorney listed on past economic statements if so requested.
