SB 115-ADDRESS CONFIDENTIALITY PROGRAM  1:34:15 PM CHAIR HOLLAND announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 115 "An Act relating to confidentiality of information; relating to the duties of the Department of Administration; creating an address confidentiality program; and providing for an effective date." [SB 115 was previously heard on 3/14/22, and public testimony was opened and closed.] 1:34:33 PM CHAIR HOLLAND solicited amendments, and there were none. 1:35:34 PM SENATOR MYERS referred to the federal requirement for Real ID compliant driver's licenses. He explained that applicants must supply their residence address to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). He wondered how that would impact the mail forwarding program in the bill. SENATOR KIEHL responded that he checked with DMV, and applicants must supply their physical residence address to the DMV in order to obtain a Real ID. However, if someone has a confidential address, the DMV will keep it confidential. He indicated that DMV would only provide the post office box established under the bill, not the physical address. 1:37:04 PM EDRIC CARRILLO, Staff, Senator Jesse Kiehl, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, agreed, adding that DMV's data was confidential per AS 28.15.151. 1:37:37 PM SENATOR HUGHES indicated that except for domestic violence or sexual assault victims, she continued to have reservations because everyone else would have the option to open a post office box. Although the sponsor assured her that only about 900 individuals would participate in the mail-forwarded program, it would take time for the Department of Administration (DOA) staff to accomplish mail forwarding. She noted DOA submitted an indeterminate fiscal note. She stated her intention not to hold up the bill. 1:38:25 PM SENATOR KIEHL thanked the Department of Administration's Shared Services of Alaska for its work. He highlighted that the director, Mr. Brad Ewing, has helped by contacting administrators of other states' programs to determine what the department would need to do to implement the program. 1:39:08 PM SENATOR HUGHES asked if other states were adding law enforcement or correctional officers to those who would receive mail confidentially or if other states limited it to victims. SENATOR KIEHL answered that other states only provide this service for victims and survivors of certain crimes, usually domestic violence or sexual assault. He noted that if he only included an estimate of victims and survivors that his calculation would have been approximately 600 individuals would participate in the program. He stated that he allowed a generous guess for the number of law enforcement and correctional officers who might take advantage of this. CHAIR HOLLAND solicited the will of the committee. 1:40:03 PM SENATOR MYERS moved to report the committee substitute (CS) for SB 115, work order 32-LS0380\G, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). CHAIR HOLLAND heard no objection, and CSSB 115(JUD) was reported from the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee.
