Panel recommends victim-anonymity option for public charging documents, with safeguards for court access
Summary
The House Judiciary Committee unanimously recommended HB 102, a second substitute that allows crime victims to request initials instead of full names on public documents while preserving full-name access via court order and excluding protective orders and stalking injunctions.
Representative Hayes presented the second substitute to HB 102, which would allow victims of crime to request that their initials, rather than full names, appear on publicly available documents such as police reports and charging documents. Hayes emphasized a clear carve-out: the rule would not apply to criminal protective orders or stalking injunctions, where full identification is necessary.
