(3)
As funds are available, the Secretary of State, or designee, may promulgate
administrative regulations to expand the address protection program to allow
an applicant or specified guardians to apply to have a substitute address
designated to serve as the address of the participant. Any program created
under this section shall:
(a) Collaborate with the Kentucky Commission on Women;
(b) Establish criteria to prohibit certain individuals, including any individual
required to register as a sex offender, from participation in the program;
(c) Allow a participant to request that state and local agencies use the
substitute address as the address of the participant, but agencies may
show that they have a bona fide statutory or administrative requirement
for the actual address;
(d) Be open to individuals that are victims of domestic violence and abuse,
stalking, any victim of an offense or an attempt to commit an offense
defined in KRS Chapter 510, 530.020, 530.064(1)(a), 531.310, or
531.320, or any victim of a similar federal offense or a similar offense
from another state or territory;
(e) Allow an applicant to submit evidence, including a sworn statement, to
show that he or she is a victim of a qualifying offense.
Participation in any program established under this section shall not affect
custody or visitation orders in effect prior to or established during program
participation, nor shall it constitute evidence of any offense and shall not be
considered for purposes of making an order allocating parental responsibilities
or parenting time.
No actionable duty nor any right of action shall accrue against the state, any
entity operating an address protection program for the state, an individual
operating in his or her professional capacity on behalf of the confidential
address protection program established in this section, or an employee of the
state or municipality in the event of negligent acts that result in the disclosure
of a program participant's actual address.
