PUBLIC RECORDS: Provides relative to the confidentiality of certain records
This bill amends existing public records laws to require government agencies to include the personal email addresses of public employees in their records disclosures. The change directly affects how citizens and journalists can access contact information for state workers, ensuring these specific details are no longer treated as confidential. By renumbering a section of the statute, the legislation formally adds this new category of information to the list of items that must be made available upon request.
