What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the Department of Justice administers an address confidentiality program, known as “Safe at Home,” that provides certain victims of domestic abuse with a substitute legal address that can be used for both public and private purposes so that the victim's home address can remain confidential. Under current law, a person qualifies to participate in the Safe at Home program if he or she is the victim of abuse, is the parent or guardian of a person who is a victim of abuse, resides in a household with a person who is a victim of abuse, or fears for his or her physical safety or for the physical safety of his or her child.

This bill adds that a person qualifies for the Safe at Home program if the person is a parent, guardian, or legal custodian of a child who was the victim of child abduction.
