Clarifies that the department of corrections is not required to obtain and input into its electronic record-keeping applications any individual's otherwise uncollected former legal name or any alias

New rules for inmate names and online records

The law sets new rules for how the Department of Corrections handles names and online records. The department does not have to find or add former legal names or aliases it does not already have. If it already has a person’s current name, any former legal name, or a known alias from its government records, it must post that on its public website, and the search must work with any of those names. Public conviction info can stay online no more than three years after the sentence ends and after any parole or post-release supervision ends. The act takes effect one year after it became law, and related website changes follow the 2024 amendment timeline.
