AI Summary

  • Expands the Freedom of Information Act exemption for law enforcement records in shared electronic record management systems to include "criminal justice agencies" in addition to law enforcement agencies
  • Allows criminal justice agencies to deny FOIA requests for records they did not create, did not participate in, and only have access to through a shared electronic database
  • The exemption applies when the agency receiving the request had no role in the events that are the subject of the record
  • Requesters would need to direct their FOIA requests to the originating agency that created the record rather than any agency with database access
