HB1092 updates South Dakota's public records exemptions by clarifying which types of records don't have to be disclosed to the public, including student information, medical records, trade secrets from research institutions, attorney work product, and law enforcement investigation records. The bill refines the existing exemption rules under state open records law to better define what qualifies as protected information and under what circumstances records can be withheld from public access.
The amendment makes minor technical and stylistic changes to the open records law, such as replacing "which" with "that," removing outdated legislative session references, and changing "Gaming" to "South Dakota Commission on Gaming" for clarity—these are largely formatting and grammar corrections that do not substantively alter the bill's purpose of updating open records provisions. The amendment also updates the bill's enrollment status from "Introduced" to "ENROLLED" and adjusts the bill designation numbers.
