Aside from AWC’s top priority public records bills, we have been following a few other notable bills on the topic.
SB 5207 passed through both chambers and has been signed by the Governor. The bill exempts disclosure of GPS data that would indicate the location of any public employee or volunteer. The bill’s effective date is July 23, 2017.
HB 1417 passed both chambers and is awaiting the Governor’s signature. If signed, the bill would allow governing boards and city councils to hold executive sessions to consider matters of information technology (IT) security and vulnerability.
