HB 1153: Confidential public records

Managing confidential records.

Summary

  • Records that are confidential, privileged, or exempt from public disclosure retain that status after they are transferred to the State Archives.
  • Records can become available to the public 75 years after they are created if the State Archivist and the originating jurisdiction agree that they should be open to the public.
  • Records can become available to the public before 75 years if the originating jurisdiction determines that the confidential, privileged, or exempt status will end at some point before 75 years.
