Safe at Home Act

This bill would require federal executive agencies and federal courts to accept a substitute address assigned by a state address confidentiality program whenever a person in that program must give an address. People in these programs could not be penalized for giving the substitute address instead of their real home, school, or work address. Agencies and courts seeking a participant's real address would have to follow the state program's procedures, and any real address they obtain would be kept confidential and exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests. A federal court could order the real address disclosed for federal criminal cases or when an agency needs it to carry out federal law. Agencies would have one year to update their rules, and the Census Bureau is not covered.
