Substitute Senate Bill No. 328 Senate, April 2, 1998. Since the information is exempt from disclosure, the Freedom of Information Commission would not have to investigate complaints alleging violations, therefore, the passage of the bill is not expected to have a fiscal impact on the agency. In addition, the number of complaints filed with the Commission are minimal, thus, the exemption is not expected to have an impact on the workload of the Commission. Under current law, the FOIA requires the agencies to disclose nonexempt records or files they keep or maintain, unless state or federal law requires them to be kept confidential.
Agencies have discretion to disclose exempt records.
