Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
Public Servant Protection Act of 2020 This bill addresses the privacy of government officials related to their personal information. First, the bill makes it unlawful to publicly display on the internet the home address or home phone number of a government official or an immediate family member of a government official with the intent to cause bodily harm or other injury to such official or family member. Violators are subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term, or both. The bill also allows government officials to make written demands to individuals and interactive computer service providers related to the removal of their personal information.
