SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Protection of confidential information in court files. Provides that whenever a party in a civil action files a motion or other document with a court containing a social security number or other identification numbers on driver's licenses, credit cards, debit cards, bank accounts, or other electronic billing and payment systems, such party shall make reasonable efforts to redact all but the last four digits of such number. The bill also provides that failure to redact such information does not create private cause of action against the party or lawyer who filed the document or any court personnel, clerk, or other employees who received the document for filing. As introduced, this bill was a recommendation of the Boyd-Graves Conference.
