Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Freedom of Information Act. With respect to the disclosure exemption for administrative enforcement and law enforcement records, extends the exemption to records the disclosure of which would affect enforcement proceedings and investigations of any public body (now, the public body that receives the request). Requires a public body that receives any administrative enforcement or law enforcement records request but that is not the public body or law enforcement or correctional agency contemplating or conducting a proceeding or investigation to transmit the request to such body or agency. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with changes. Provides that if the recipient of a request for records determines that another public body, law enforcement agency, or correctional agency is contemplating or conducting an administrative enforcement proceeding or an investigation that is the subject of a records request, then the recipient of the request for those records shall transmit the request to the other public body, law enforcement agency, or correctional agency. Requires notification of the transmittal of the request to be given to the requester. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Freedom of Information Act. Exempts from the Act's copying and disclosure requirements records in the possession of any public body created in the course of administrative enforcement proceedings, and records in the possession of any law enforcement or correctional agency for law enforcement purposes, to the extent that disclosure would obstruct an ongoing criminal investigation by a law enforcement agency that is not the recipient of the request when the recipient agency possesses such record only because it maintains a multi-jurisdictional police data management system which receives information in the form of data and documents relating to law enforcement investigations. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Freedom of Information Act. Provides that a law enforcement record created for law enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic record management system is exempt from disclosure under the Act 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. Effective immediately.
