Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDState attorneys, assistant state attorneys, and statewide prosecutors already had a public-records exemption for their home addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and photographs. This bill adds current nonlegal support staff in those offices to that same shield.
The bill first defines "nonlegal support staff" using a long list of specific personnel classification codes covering roles in state attorney's offices and the Office of Statewide Prosecution.
Spouses and children of covered nonlegal support staff get the same protection -- names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and employers -- along with the schools and day cares the children attend.
Unlike the attorneys and prosecutors already covered, support staff lose the exemption once they leave the job: the new language protects only "current" staff, never "former" ones.
AICreates a new statutory definition naming state attorney's office and Office of Statewide Prosecution employees assigned to a specific list of personnel classification codes as "nonlegal support staff," the category this bill's exemption covers.
AIAdds current state attorney's office and Office of Statewide Prosecution nonlegal support staff to an existing exemption for state attorneys, assistant state attorneys, statewide prosecutors, and assistant statewide prosecutors, covering home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and photographs.
AIExtends the same protection to spouses and children of covered nonlegal support staff, covering their names, addresses, phone numbers, photographs, birth dates, and employers, plus the names and locations of schools and day care facilities the children attend.
AIThe expanded sub-subparagraph is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and stands to repeal on October 2, 2031, unless the Legislature reviews and reenacts it first.
