SB 824 Freedom of Information Act; secure remote access to land records, certain provisions.
Introduced by: Jeannemarie D. Davis | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Freedom of Information Act; Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act; land records. Provides that the Freedom of Information Act does not apply to land records available via secure remote access but that such access is governed by certain provisions of the Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act (see § 2.2-3800 et seq.). The bill provides requirements for posting land records via secure remote access to the Internet and requires, beginning July 1, 2010, that social security numbers not be contained in such documents. Judgments, however, will contain the last four digits of a social security number for identification purposes. The clerk is given the authority to reject documents that contain social security numbers and also is allowed to perform a global redaction of social security numbers from those documents filed before the 2010 deadline. The bill also allows the use of the Technology Trust Fund to pay for redaction. The bill clarifies that the clerk is to charge $0.50 per electronic image for transmitting "papers or records" to go out of his office in the same manner that he charges $0.50 per page for copying. This bill is identical to HB2062.
