Federal Court Lets Initiative Signers Keep Names and Addresses Private for Now

On March 21, a U.S. District Court in Utah ruled that for the time being, the names and addresses of people who signed a Utah initiative petition may keep their names and addresses from being released to the public. Here is the 15-page order. The case is Utahns for Ethical Government v Barton, 2:10-cv-333. The initiative is in support of a proposed law to create an independent ethics commission and code of ethics for the legislature.

The order says that since the state doesn’t yet acknowledge that this initiative is going to be on the ballot, there is no purpose served in releasing the names and addresses of the signers now. The issue will arise again in the future if the initiative does get on the ballot.
