Sen. Danny Burgess

Citing a rash of death threats, the Senate Judiciary Committee has approved a proposal to shield the personal identifying information of current and former city and county attorneys, and assistant attorneys.

The committee voted 8-0 on January 18 to approve SB 1420 by Sen. Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills. A companion, HB 1213 by Rep. Kirsten Arrington, D-Kissimmee, has yet to be heard.
