Bill > S7074

This bill provides a public records exemption for information received by the Attorney General or the Department of Legal Affairs pursuant to an investigation into certain social media platform activities. The exemption applies during the active investigation and continues after the investigation is completed or ceases to be active, covering personal identifying information, computer forensic reports, information that could reveal business data security weaknesses, and proprietary business information, including trade secrets. The exemption is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will be repealed on October 2, 2026, unless reviewed and saved from repeal by the legislature. The bill also provides a statement of public necessity for the exemption, citing the need to protect the integrity of the investigations and the confidentiality of sensitive business information.
