Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDA new public records exemption shields the home addresses, phone numbers, and birth dates of current county administrators and city managers, including their deputies and assistants, from disclosure.
Spouses and children of these officials get the same protection, plus photographs and workplace information, and the names and locations of schools and day cares the children attend.
Oddly, the officials themselves get no photograph protection under this new exemption, even though their own spouses and children do.
The exemption's text covers only current officeholders, not people who have left these positions, and it is set to expire October 2, 2031 absent legislative reenactment.
AIHome addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of birth of current county administrators, deputy and assistant county administrators, and city managers and their deputies and assistants are removed from public disclosure and the constitutional right of access.
AISpouses and children of these officials get names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, photographs, and places of employment shielded, plus the schools and day cares their children attend.
AIThe exemption names deputy and assistant county administrators and deputy and assistant city managers directly, not only the county administrator or city manager who holds the top position.
AILike other entries on this list, the exemption for these officials automatically sunsets in five years unless the Legislature reviews it and votes to keep it in force.
