Bill would let informal marriage filers request redaction of identifying information from county online records
Summary
House Bill 1193 would allow people who filed a declaration of informal marriage to check a box requesting that personally identifying information (other than name) be redacted from county clerk online public records, intended to protect victims of violence or stalking.
Senator Johnson presented House Bill 1193, which would permit applicants who file a declaration of informal marriage to request that personally identifying information other than their name be redacted from county clerk online public records. The sponsor said the change aims to protect people in vulnerable situations — including survivors of dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking — from having addresses and other details publicly available.
The committee heard no public testimony on HB 1193 during the hearing and the measure was left pending, subject to the call of the chair.
