In order to protect information from public disclosure, citizens need to know what information is out there. This is a simple idea that has been adopted in other states. This bill does not prohibit access or require agencies to change their databases. There must be a balance between access and privacy with regard to information. Agencies already dispose of personal information when it is no longer needed.
Most citizens can already guess what databases contain personal information.
This bill weakens privacy by creating a master list of databases and would cost a great deal of money.
