Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Address privacy for judges, officers, Guard

Certain public officials can keep their home address out of public records. Eligible groups are sworn law enforcement officers, Nebraska National Guard members, and judges and magistrates of courts in Nebraska. You apply to your county assessor with a form that lists your name, home address, and parcel ID, plus your badge number, Guard proof, or court name. After a complete application, the assessor tells the register of deeds and the county treasurer to withhold your address. Your address stays private for five years and you can renew every five years.

Judicial retention filings private with annual list

Judges’ written requests to be on a retention ballot are not public records. Judges file the request with the Secretary of State by August 1 before the term ends. Each year, the Secretary of State posts an online list of judges who filed, with each name and the district or area served. Judges use the retention filing process, not the normal candidate filing form rules.
