Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDCurrent and former Commission on Human Relations personnel and commissioners who determine, investigate, or process discrimination and retaliation complaints get a new public-records exemption for their home addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and photographs.
The same protection extends to spouses and children of those personnel: their names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and employers become exempt, along with the schools and day cares the children attend.
The exemption applies to anyone whose duties touch a complaint's intake or dismissal, not only commissioners who decide cases, so it could reach junior staff who merely log or close files.
Like similar exemptions, this one is not permanent: it is subject to mandatory legislative sunset review and automatically expires on October 2, 2031, unless lawmakers act to renew it.
AIRemoves public access to the home address, phone number, date of birth, and photograph of any current or former Commission on Human Relations employee or commissioner whose duties include determining, investigating, or processing discrimination complaints.
AIExtends the same protection to spouses and children of those employees and commissioners, covering their names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and employers, plus the names and locations of schools and day care facilities the children attend.
AIThe new exemption is not permanent. It falls under the Open Government Sunset Review Act and automatically repeals five years after taking effect unless the Legislature reviews and reenacts it first.
