SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:
Freedom of Information Act; protection of internal controls of the Commonwealth's financial systems. Exempts from the mandatory disclosure requirements of FOIA documentation or other information as determined by the State Comptroller that describes the design, function, operation, or implementation of internal controls over the Commonwealth's financial processes and systems, and the assessment of risks and vulnerabilities of those controls, including the annual assessment of internal controls mandated by the Comptroller, the disclosure of which would jeopardize the security of the Commonwealth's financial assets. However, summary reports relating to the soundness of any fiscal process shall be disclosed in a form that does not compromise the internal controls. The bill provides that nothing contained in its provisions shall be construed to prohibit the Auditor of Public Accounts or the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission from reporting internal control deficiencies discovered during the course of an audit.
