Bill > SB555

This bill strengthens confidentiality protections for research conducted by the Legislative Policy and Research Office (LPRO), a government research agency. Specifically, the bill prohibits LPRO employees from disclosing any research materials, data, or information to anyone outside the office without explicit written consent from the original data provider. This means that research requested, collected, maintained, or utilized by LPRO will be kept confidential by default, with disclosure only permitted if the source of the information provides prior written permission. The bill aims to protect the privacy and sensitivity of research materials by ensuring that information shared with LPRO remains strictly within the office unless specific authorization for release is granted by the original information source.
