Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Alternate DMV address for tribal court staff

If you are judicial personnel of an Indian tribe, you can ask the DMV to show an alternate address on your driver’s license, commercial license, or ID card. You must provide proof of your status, your principal residence, and your mailing address if it is different. The DMV will display the alternate address on the card.

Privacy for tribal court staff in records

If you are judicial personnel of an Indian tribe, you can ask three offices to keep certain personal information confidential: the county recorder, the county assessor, and the Secretary of State or a county or city clerk. You must submit a request to each office. The law protects the categories of information listed in state law for those records.

Stronger penalties for threats to tribal court staff

The law makes it a crime to threaten or intimidate judicial personnel of an Indian tribe. If the threat uses physical force or an immediate threat of force, a first offense is a category C felony. A second or later such offense is a category B felony with 2 to 10 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. Assaults and batteries against tribal judicial personnel now carry the same enhanced penalties as attacks on other protected officers, when the attacker knew or should have known their role. Penalties range from gross misdemeanor up to category B felony, and are higher when a deadly weapon is used or serious injury or strangulation occurs, or when the offender is in custody, on probation, or on parole.
