Title
Ethics Commission, statements of economic interest, electronic database, redaction of identifying information to include statements filed prior to August 1, 2013, Sec. 36-25-4.3 am'd.
Summary

SB66 requires redaction of identifying information from the State Ethics Commission's public online database of statements of economic interest, including filings before August 1, 2013.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 36-25-4.3 to ensure the public electronic database excludes identifying information from statements of economic interest. It requires the Commission to redact all identifying information (as defined in Section 41-13-7) on filings available to the public and to retroactively redact data that was in the database as of August 1, 2013. The changes apply to all such statements and take effect immediately after the governor signs the act.

Who It Affects
  • Public officials and public employees who file statements of economic interest will have identifying information redacted from the public database.
  • Members of the public and researchers who access the online database can search by official's name but will not see identifying information.
Key Provisions
  • Redact identifying information from the public electronic database of statements of economic interest.
  • Exclude identifying information, as defined in Section 41-13-7, from public access.
  • Retroactively redact all identifying information for statements that were in the database as of August 1, 2013.
  • Take effect immediately following passage and governor's approval.
