SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Freedom of Information Act; exemptions for PPTA and PPEA projects. Allows memoranda, staff evaluations, or other records prepared by the responsible public entity, its staff, outside advisors, or consultants exclusively for the evaluation and negotiation of proposals filed under the PPTA (Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995) and PPEA (Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act of 2002) to be withheld from public disclosure, where if such records were made public prior to or after the execution an interim or a comprehensive agreement, the financial interest or bargaining position of the public entity would be adversely affected. The bill allows any independent review panel appointed to review PPTA proposals and advise the responsible public entity concerning such records to meet in a closed meeting. The bill also contains technical amendments and is a recommendation of the Virginia Freedom of Information Advisory Council.
