SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); record exemption; certain emergency service records. Provides an exemption from the mandatory disclosure requirements of FOIA for subscriber data, which for the purposes of the exemption, means the name, address, telephone number, and any other information identifying a subscriber of a telecommunications carrier, provided directly or indirectly by a telecommunications carrier to a public body that operates a 911 or E-911 emergency dispatch system or an emergency notification or reverse 911 system, if the data is in a form not made available by the telecommunications carrier to the public generally. The bill provides that nothing shall prevent the release of subscriber data generated in connection with specific calls to a 911 emergency system, where the requester is seeking to obtain public records about the use of the system in response to a specific crime, emergency or other event as to which a citizen has initiated a 911 call.
