Last year, the Kentucky General Assembly passed the Safe at Home Act.
It allows people fleeing domestic abuse to shield their home addresses from the public record without a court order.
A year after the law went into effect, Republican Secretary of State Michael Adams says more than 100 people are now participating in the program.
That's an increase of 460%.
The Safe at Home Act builds on the Secretary of State's Address confidentiality program, which allows victims to shield their addresses from voter rolls.
The new law provides the same protections on other government records without requiring a protective order.
