Safe at Home Act: Federal Agencies Must Accept Confidential Addresses.
This law enhances the safety of vulnerable individuals (like victims of domestic violence) enrolled in state address confidentiality programs. It mandates that all federal agencies and courts must accept a designated substitute address instead of the participant's physical location. This allows citizens to conduct federal business without revealing their protected physical address, minimizing the risk of being located.
Key points
Federal agencies and courts must accept the designated address provided by a state confidentiality program.
The participant's physical address is confidential and exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Participants are protected from federal penalties for using the designated address instead of their physical address.
Disclosure of the physical address is only allowed by court order for federal criminal proceedings or specific administrative requirements.
