AI Summary

  • Amends the Freedom of Information Act to expand an existing exemption for law enforcement records in shared electronic record management systems
  • Adds "criminal justice agency" to the entities that can deny FOIA requests for records they did not create and had no involvement in
  • Previously, only law enforcement agencies could use this exemption; the change allows criminal justice agencies (such as prosecutors' offices or courts) the same protection
  • The exemption applies only when the agency receiving the request did not create the record, did not participate in the events described, and only has access through the shared system
  • Requesters would need to direct their requests to the originating agency rather than any agency with database access to the record
