AI Summary

This bill modifies the transparency requirements for complaints submitted to the Board of Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture, Geoscience, and Interior Design. Specifically, when the executive director of the board initiates or submits a complaint, the bill requires that the fact of the complaint's origin and all related documents become public data that must be proactively disclosed to both the board and the subject of the complaint. This changes existing privacy protections by mandating transparency around complaints initiated internally by the board's executive director. The bill will take effect the day after it is enacted and will apply to complaints submitted or initiated on or after that date. By requiring disclosure of complaint details that may have previously been confidential, the bill aims to increase accountability and provide more information to individuals who are the subject of board complaints.
