NC H142

Reclassifies records maintained by campus police agencies affiliated with private, nonprofit institutions of higher education as non-public records, exempting them from North Carolina's public records law (G.S. 132-1).

Requires campus police agencies at private nonprofit institutions to allow public inspection of specific information including the time, date, location, and nature of reported violations; names and charges of arrested persons; arrest circumstances; emergency call contents (with caller/victim/witness identity protected); and crime logs required under the federal Jeanne Clery Act.

Permits campus police agencies to temporarily withhold a complaining witness's name or address if release would threaten their safety or compromise an ongoing investigation, with information becoming available once circumstances change.

Allows campus police agencies to seek court orders preventing disclosure if release would jeopardize prosecution, undermine investigations, or violate the Jeanne Clery Act or Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Requires campus police agencies to furnish requested information copies at actual reproduction cost and sets court proceedings for denied access requests as immediate priority hearings.
