TO AMEND THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT OF 1967; AND TO EXEMPT PERSONAL INFORMATION OF ELECTED CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS, JUDICIAL OFFICIALS, ELECTED COUNTY OFFICIALS, ELECTED MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS, AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILY.

House Bill 1621 proposes to amend the Freedom of Information Act of 1967. It would exempt certain personal information, specifically permanent residence addresses, of elected constitutional officers, judicial officials, elected county officials, elected municipal officials, and their immediate family members from being considered public records. The bill also defines "elected municipal official" and "immediate family member" for the purposes of these exemptions. This means that these specific private details of the mentioned officials and their relatives would no longer be subject to public information requests.
