Abstract

The bill would have created a new exemption from the open records requirements for records of agencies that were engaged in a economic development program and a parallel exclusion from open meeting requirements for agency meetings that discuss any of the newly exempted records. The bill excluded records that would identify or reveal entities contacted or solicited by the agency for development, records that included terms of any agreements being negotiated between the agency and any other entity, and records or data produced in the process of study or research on commercial, economic, or marketing aspects of an economic development program.
