SB 6141: UTC and atty general records

Concerning the confidentiality of certain records filed with the utilities and transportation commission or the attorney general.

Summary

  • Provides that records filed by a solid waste collection company with the Attorney General's Office or the Utilities Transportation Commission containing valuable commercial information are not subject to public disclosure until notice has been given to the person or persons directly affected by the information.
  • Allows a person directly affected by the disclosure of valuable commercial solid waste collection company records, within 10 days of receiving notice, to request a superior court order protecting the records as confidential.
  • Authorizes a court to issue an order exempting the valuable commercial records from public disclosure, if the court determines that disclosure would result in an unfair competitive disadvantage and is not necessary for further public review and comment on the appropriate allocation of costs and revenues.
