Abstract

Amends the Freedom of Information Act. Exempts from inspection and copying a law enforcement record created for law enforcement purposes if the public body that is the recipient of the request did not create the record and did not participate in or have a role in any of the events that are the subject of the record. Provides that if a public body receives a request for a law enforcement record created for law enforcement purposes that it did not create, the public body shall direct the requester to the public body that created the law enforcement record. Deletes language exempting from inspection and copying a law enforcement record created for law enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic record management system if the law enforcement agency that is the recipient of the request did not create the record, did not participate in or have a role in any of the events which are the subject of the record, and only has access to the record through the shared electronic record management system. Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill, and replaces references to "public body" in the amendatory language with references to "law enforcement agency". Senate Floor Amendment No. 2 Restores language exempting from inspection and copying a law enforcement record created for law enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic record management system if the law enforcement agency that is the recipient of the request did not create the record, did not participate in or have a role in any of the events which are the subject of the record, and only has access to the record through the shared electronic record management system. Deletes language: exempting from inspection and copying a law enforcement record created for law enforcement purposes if the law enforcement agency that is the recipient of the request did not create the record and did not participate in or have a role in any of the events that are the subject of the record; and providing that if a law enforcement agency receives a request for a law enforcement record created for law enforcement purposes that it did not create, the law enforcement agency shall direct the requester to the law enforcement agency that created the law enforcement record. Instead exempts from inspection and copying a law enforcement record that is: (i) created by a law enforcement agency other than the law enforcement agency that is the recipient of the request; and (ii) attached as an exhibit to a law enforcement record created by the law enforcement agency that is the recipient of the request, if the law enforcement agency notifies the requester of the additional law enforcement records available from different law enforcement agencies and the law enforcement agencies the requester may contact to obtain records not produced by the law enforcement agency that is the recipient of the request.
