The secretary of state shall promulgate rules to allow an elected or appointed public official to designate as confidential the public official's home address as stated in election- and financial-related disclosures filed with the secretary of state or county clerks. A home address designated as confidential pursuant to this section is exempt from disclosure pursuant to an Inspection of Public Records Act [Chapter 14, Article 2 NMSA 1978] request and shall not be published on a governmental website. Nothing in this section or the secretary of state's rule shall prohibit the disclosure of the public official's home address if relevant to a judicial proceeding.
