(a) General rule.--During the course of a proceeding under this chapter, the court or hearing officer may consider whether the plaintiff or victim, as appropriate, is endangered by disclosure of the permanent or temporary address of the plaintiff or victim. The court shall consider the wishes of the plaintiff regarding the disclosure of the address. Neither in the pleadings nor during proceedings or hearings under this chapter shall the court or hearing officer require disclosure of the address of a rape crisis center or the plaintiff or victim, as appropriate.
(b) Order.--Where the court concludes that the defendant poses a continued risk of harm to the victim and where the plaintiff requests that the address, telephone number and information about the victim's whereabouts not be disclosed, the court shall enter an order directing that law enforcement agencies, human service agencies and school districts shall not disclose the presence of the victim in the jurisdiction or district or furnish any address, telephone number or any other demographic information about the victim except by further order of the court.
