Public Records Act; exempt certain documents in which an agency deliberates new policy from.

Summary

The bill adds a specific exemption that keeps preliminary drafts, notes, and memoranda containing opinions or policy proposals made during an agency’s deliberative process from being released under the state’s Public Records Act. It applies to any single agency or two or more agencies working together, and only protects material that is pre‑decisional. The change is intended to safeguard the decision‑making process while still allowing factual information to be disclosed.
