Exempting certain records from public release

SB 103 would amend West Virginia law to exempt specific military and security records from public disclosure under the state's open records law. The bill protects classified national security information, terrorism response plans and vulnerability assessments, intelligence shared between federal/state agencies, and sensitive military operations data. These exemptions apply to records maintained by the National Guard, Department of Defense, and other agencies. As a result, the public would no longer have access to these records under West Virginia's public records law. The change aims to prevent disclosures that could threaten public safety, endanger personnel, or provide military advantages to adversaries.
