Invasion of personal privacy
PUBLIC RECORDS – Amends existing law to define “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

RS30096 / H0047

This legislation amends Section 74-101, Idaho Code, regarding public records. This bill seeks to align Idaho Code with Idaho Court decisions regarding the protection of personal privacy weighed against the public right to access. Idaho values the personal privacy of all citizens, and wants to ensure no citizen is further exposed or left in a vulnerable position due to the release of information.

There is not fiscal impact on the general fund. There may be a decrease in costs to municipalities by providing additional clarification helping to eliminate or reduce costly court battles related to the release of private citizen information.
