PUBLIC RECORDS: Provides relative to confidentiality of certain personnel records. (8/1/24)
This bill updates Louisiana law to protect the privacy of certain personal details in the personnel records of public employees. It specifically makes confidential an employee's home and cellular phone numbers, home address, and personal email address if they request that information be kept private. Additionally, the legislation shields the name and account number of the bank where a public employee receives their direct deposit. These changes apply to any public employee working for a public body in the state who chooses to keep these specific items confidential.
