AI Summary
This bill, effective October 1, 2026, amends a statute concerning government administration by adding a new provision that exempts course syllabi created by or for the faculty or staff of a public institution of higher education from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The Freedom of Information Act is a law that generally gives the public the right to access government records, but this bill carves out an exception specifically for these academic documents, meaning they will no longer be subject to public requests for information.
