SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Freedom of Information Act; certain records of the Department of Veterans Services and the Veterans Services Foundation. Exempts from the mandatory disclosure provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (i) personal information contained in the Veterans Care Center Resident Trust Funds concerning residents or patients of the Department of Veterans Services care centers and (ii) records maintained in connection with fundraising activities by the Veterans Services Foundation to the extent that such records reveal the address, electronic mail address, facsimile or telephone number, social security number or other identification number appearing on driver's license, or credit card or bank account data of identifiable donors, except that access shall not be denied to the person who is the subject of the record. The bill provides, however, that it shall not be construed to authorize the withholding of records relating to the amount, date, purpose, and terms of the pledge or donation, or the identity of the donor. Nor does the exclusion provided by the bill apply to protect from disclosure (i) the identities of sponsors providing grants to or contracting with the foundation for the performance of services or other work or (ii) the terms and conditions of such grants or contracts.
