PUBLIC RECORDS: Provides relative to public records requests. (8/1/24)
This bill amends state law to protect specific security records held by the governor's office from public release. It allows the governor to keep confidential any documents detailing the schedules of the governor, their spouse, or their child if revealing them could endanger safety. These records may remain private for up to seven days after a scheduled event, though the law does not cover all meetings or transportation details the governor attends. The change directly affects the Office of the Governor by defining when certain security-related information must be withheld from public records requests.
