Bill Analysis

Summary: HB 2267 would protect medical examiners, forensic analysts, or forensic testers who are employed by the state from having their home address disclosed publicly for property taxes.

Analysis: HB 2267 is a legitimate role of government that seeks to protect public employees from retribution since they provide information related to criminal cases. Similar considerations have been made for other fields associated with law enforcement. We support HB 2267.
