Overview
This bill amends the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) to include email addresses as confidential items that must be redacted from public records. Currently, OPRA protects certain information from disclosure, and this bill expands that list to specifically cover email communications. This change aims to safeguard the privacy of individuals whose email addresses are included in public records, such as those communicating with elected officials. The bill takes effect immediately.
