Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
This bill allows the state to temporarily protect confidential records from release during on-going negotiations with economic development prospects - potential future employers of Georgians. It removes a current obstacle to job-creation by putting Georgia on equal footing with most other states that already protect their prospect information. All information that is currently open to the public will become open following the completion of negotiations. Counties and cities were deleted from the exemption during the committee process.
