Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDCurrent county administrators, deputy and assistant county administrators, city managers, and deputy and assistant city managers gain a public-records exemption for their home addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of birth.
The same protection covers spouses and children: their names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, photographs, and employers, plus the schools and day cares the children attend -- though the administrators' own photographs are not exempted.
Because the exemption names only "current" officeholders, protection ends the moment someone leaves the position -- a narrower reach than sibling exemptions elsewhere in the same law that cover both current and former holders.
Like similar exemptions, this one is not permanent: mandatory legislative sunset review applies, and it automatically expires on October 2, 2031, unless lawmakers act to renew it.
AIRemoves public access to the home address, telephone number, and date of birth of any current county administrator, deputy or assistant county administrator, city manager, or deputy or assistant city manager -- but not their photograph.
AIExtends protection to spouses and children of those officials, covering their names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, photographs, and employers, plus the names and locations of schools and day care facilities the children attend.
AIThe exemption is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and automatically repeals five years after taking effect unless the Legislature reviews and reenacts it first.
