            Senate Bill 450 amends the Government Code to add to the list of persons whose home address, home telephone number, social security number, and personal family information may be made confidential and nondisclosable under the open records law.  The bill allows an employee of a district attorney, criminal district attorney, or county or municipal attorney whose jurisdiction includes any criminal law or child protective services matter to elect to restrict access to the information by notifying the governmental body that is a custodian of the information.  The restriction on access does not apply to documents filed with a county clerk or district clerk or to information in an appraisal district's tax appraisal records.
