AI Summary
This bill creates a public records exemption for portions of records held by a county supervisor of elections that contain network schematics, hardware and software configurations, or encryption, or that identify detection, investigation, or response practices for suspected or confirmed information technology security incidents, including suspected or confirmed breaches. This information is considered confidential and exempt from public disclosure, as its release could be used to facilitate unauthorized access, modification, disclosure, or destruction of data, information, or information technology resources, and could impact the electoral process.
