HF 585 – Safe at Home
FLOOR ACTION:
HF 585 establishes a Safe at Home program for victims of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, human trafficking or stalking. The program is administered by the Iowa Secretary of State’s office. The Safe at Home program is an address confidentiality program. The Secretary of State’s office establishes a U.S. Post Office box for the participant. The Secretary of State’s receives the participant’s mail and forwards it to them at the designated P.O. Box. This program also allows the participant to sign up as a permanent absentee ballot voter by using their confidential address. The Senate amended HF 585 to create a revolving fund that is subject to Legislative appropriation. [4/15: 45-0 (Anderson, Behn, Bertrand, Feenstra, Zumbach excused)]
