Secretary of State Michael Adams announced that participation in Kentucky's Safe at Home Program has increased by 460 percent in the first year since the General Assembly expanded the program at his request.

Senate Bill 79 (2023), sponsored by Sen. Julie Raque Adams, R-Louisville , expanded the Commonwealth's address confidentiality program, allowing participants to have their addresses masked on all state and local public records, including voter rolls. The program removed the requirement of a protective order and expanded interstate reciprocity, opening the program to more participants.

Secretary Adams announced the increase in participants while touring the Center for Women and Families in Louisville, which serves more than 5,000 domestic abuse and rape survivors each year.


"I am grateful to our state legislators for coming together across party lines to join us in protecting our most vulnerable Kentuckians," Adams said. "Our Office is working to end the scourge of domestic violence."
