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 made minor technical and stylistic updates to the open records exemptions statute, including changing references from "which" to "that," removing an outdated reference to a specific date in federal law ("as the law existed on January 1, 2009"), and correcting the bill's designation from the introduced version number to the enrolled version number. These are primarily cleanup changes that NARROW or clarify the language without substantively altering the bill's purpose of updating open records exemptions.
