The bill removes the confidentiality of information in registrations and biennial reports filed by foreign persons, including nonresident aliens, foreign businesses, and foreign governments. The annual summary report prepared by the secretary of state, which compiles information from these filings, is also no longer confidential. However, the summary report must still be made available to the governor and members of the general assembly.
