SB 352 Freedom of Information Act; reorganization of record exemptions.
Introduced by: R. Edward Houck | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Freedom of Information Act; reorganization of record exemptions. Reorganizes current § 2.2-3705, the listing of records that are not subject to the mandatory disclosure requirements of the Freedom of Information Act. The bill would repeal § 2.2-3705 and in its place, create seven new sections grouping the exemptions by general subject area. The proposed groupings would include exemptions of general application, exemptions relating to public safety, exemptions relating to administrative investigations, exemptions relating to educational records and educational institutions, exemptions relating to health and social services, exemptions relating to proprietary records and trade secrets, and exemptions applicable to specific public bodies. Like a title revision, the reorganization of § 2.2-3705 involves only technical changes and makes no substantive changes. The bill contains other technical amendments to correct cross references to § 2.2-3705, which is being repealed by this bill. The bill is a recommendation of the Virginia Freedom of Information Advisory Council.
