AN ACT EXEMPTING CERTAIN LAW ENFORCEMENT RECORDS FROM DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.

This bill amends state law to restrict public access to specific law enforcement records under the Freedom of Information Act. It primarily affects the ability of the public and journalists to request documents related to ongoing investigations and sensitive personal information. The key changes include shielding the identities of informants and witnesses, protecting juvenile arrest records, and keeping private the names and addresses of victims in sexual assault, family violence, and homicide cases. Additionally, the bill prohibits the release of photos or videos depicting scenes involving minors, victims of abuse, or deceased individuals to prevent unwarranted invasions of privacy. These exemptions are designed to ensure public safety and protect the personal dignity of victims and their families.
