Amends existing law to provide that personal telephone numbers and electronic mailing addresses filed pursuant to elections or lobbyist and campaign finance laws are exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act.

There are times when the Secretary of State or a County Clerk needs an immediate response from a political candidate, campaign treasurer or a lobbyist. The same occurs with voters who request an absentee ballot. The quickest way to contact them is generally via e-mail or calling their cellular phone, however many will not give the Secretary of State or County Clerk that information if it is a public record. This legislation protects the cell phone number and e-mail address from public disclosure for voters. The rest of the contact information- mailing address, residence address and telephone number is still available to anyone who requests it. Personal cell phone numbers of campaign treasurers, candidates, and lobbyists will also be protected if a home telephone number and business number are listed on forms filed pursuant to Chapter 66, Title 67, Idaho Code.
