2 2 EXPLANATION
2 3 This bill amends Code chapter 22, the public records law,
2 4 by adding a new section which provides that financial records
2 5 of foundations which are established by or pursuant to statute
2 6 for the support of the board of regents are public records
2 7 under Code chapter 22. The bill provides that these
2 8 foundations must allow public access to information the same
2 9 as a government body and is subject to all other provisions of
2 10 Code chapter 22. The bill also provides that information that
2 11 would reveal the identity of an individual contributor or
2 12 potential individual contributor to a foundation, is not
2 13 public information if the individual requests confidentiality.
2 14 The bill also provides that individuals who made contributions
2 15 prior to the effective date of the bill shall be accorded
2 16 confidentiality as if confidentiality had been specifically
2 17 requested at the time the contribution was made.
2 18 Contributions made by entities other than individuals are
2 19 public information and foundations are required to itemize
2 20 such contributions by name of the entity, and type and amount
2 21 of contribution.
