This bill regulates the examination of confidential records by the general assembly.
This bill mandates that government bodies provide public records, including confidential ones, to the general assembly upon request for legislative purposes. It allows government bodies to require requestors to sign confidentiality agreements. The bill also allows requestors to ask the attorney general to determine if a record is confidential, with a decision to be made within 45 days. The bill voids confidentiality agreements if the record is not found to be confidential. Disclosure of confidential records to the general assembly does not waive confidentiality under state or federal law.
