AI Summary
This bill amends the Right-to-Know Law to further define "personal financial information" and make changes to the exceptions for public records. Specifically, it expands the definition of "personal financial information" to include contributions to charitable organizations, and it adds a new exception for an agency's financial account numbers, which can be redacted to protect the security of the agency's financial information. The bill also clarifies that certain employee benefit information, such as retirement and health care benefits, can still be disclosed. The changes take effect 60 days after the bill's enactment.
