House Bill 411 "PFD Privacy Act - An Act relating to an optional election to prevent the name and address of a permanent fund dividend applicant from being disclosed, except to a state or federal agency."
Click for PDF: http://www.akdemocrats.org/sponsor/HB411_ss_rep_croft.pdfThis legislation would allow a Permanent Fund Dividend applicant to check a box to keep the information disclosed on their form private, except in cases where disclosure of such information is required by the state or federal government.
Currently, the list of PFD applicants and their addresses are public information. Although this appears benign on the surface, to victims of violent crime disclosing their mailing address can be a terrifying and potentially life-threatening mistake.
