The sponsor's argument
Why Luis R. Sepúlveda says this is needed
This bill allows for the expansion of the Address Confidentiality Program to include victims of the revenge porn law, allowing them to utilize the ACP. The ACP is a program that assists individuals who have been victims of certain crimes and who have relocated as a result of the crime. The ACP gives them an alternative address to use that would protect the confidentiality of their location, and the inclusion of victims under the revenge porn law allows for them to utilize the ACP during the legal process.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
