  1 34    This bill alters the confidentiality provisions in the
  1 35 public records chapter for personnel and payroll records
  2  1 pertaining to officials, officers, and employees of government
  2  2 bodies.  The confidentiality provision pertaining to personal

  2  4 of the department of public defense is stricken in the bill.
  2  5 The confidentiality provision pertaining to personnel records
  2  6 of other public bodies is expanded to include both personnel
  2  7 and payroll records pertaining to officials, officers, and
  2  8 employees of government bodies, but certain specific
  2  9 information within those confidential records is designated as
  2 10 nonconfidential.

  2 12 name and compensation paid to the individual to whom the
  2 13 record pertains; the date of employment; positions held; the
  2 14 individual's qualifications; any disciplinary action taken
  2 15 which resulted in the individual's discharge, suspension,
  2 16 demotion, or loss of pay; and any other information for which

  2 19 interest in confidentiality.
  2 20    The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code
  2 21 section 25B.3.
  2 22    This bill makes inapplicable Code section 25B.2, subsection
  2 23 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying
  2 24 with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state
  2 25 mandate is not provided or specified.  Therefore, political
  2 26 subdivisions are required to comply with any state mandate
  2 27 included in this bill.
