Public records; exempt personally identifiable information from disclosure requirements for.

HB 1468 amends Mississippi's public records law to explicitly exempt "protected personally identifiable information" (PII) from disclosure requirements. It defines protected PII as sensitive details like Social Security numbers, home addresses, driver's license numbers, medical records, and financial account information. The bill directly affects public bodies (including law enforcement agencies and courts) that handle personal records, requiring them to withhold this specific information from public records requests. Key provisions clarify that such information - previously subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act - will now be exempt, while maintaining access to basic incident reports. This creates a clear legal standard for protecting high-risk personal data without altering access to non-sensitive public records.
