OhioPublic-record rules would identify court clerks among covered workers
The introduced text places Ohio court clerks within public-record privacy definitions while separately showing an exception for their actual home addresses.
What it does
The introduced text lists Ohio court clerks among workers covered by public-record privacy rules, but it also shows an exception for a clerk’s actual home address.
Argument forClerks and their families could have stronger privacy for sensitive details such as phone, financial, medical, and benefit information in public records.
Argument againstThe stated exception for a clerk’s actual home address could leave clerks exposed even while other personal and family details receive protection.
More detail
The text identifies clerks of Ohio courts of record as designated public service workers for public-record purposes. This applies to a clerk of a court of record in Ohio and to personal information covered by the designated-worker rules. The text describes residential and family information that is generally treated as exempt from public-record release. The listed definition includes an exception for the actual home address of a clerk of court, so the supplied text does not clearly show that address receives the same protection.
