The proposed bill aims to protect the personal information of public employees by prohibiting public employers from disclosing specific details, such as home addresses, dates of birth, personal phone numbers, and membership status in labor organizations. It amends AS 23.40.110(a) to include a new provision that makes the disclosure of an employee's personal information an unfair labor practice. Additionally, a new section, AS 23.40.115, is introduced, outlining the types of employee information that cannot be disclosed and establishing a notification requirement for public employers to inform the exclusive representative of the employee when such information is requested.

Furthermore, the bill amends AS 40.25.120(a) to include a new exception that prohibits the disclosure of records under AS 23.40.115, thereby reinforcing the confidentiality of public employee personal information. The bill clarifies that these provisions apply to actions taken by public employers and collective bargaining agreements entered into after the bill's effective date. Overall, the legislation seeks to enhance the privacy rights of public employees and ensure that their personal information is safeguarded from unauthorized disclosure.
