The bill amends R.S. 44:11(A) to enhance the confidentiality protections for certain personal information in the personnel records of public employees in Louisiana. It specifies that the home and cellular telephone numbers, home addresses, and personal email addresses of public employees will be confidential if the employee has requested such confidentiality. This change aims to safeguard the privacy of public employees, particularly those whose occupations may warrant additional protection due to safety concerns.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the language regarding the confidentiality of home telephone numbers by removing the term "such" and replacing it with "the." It also introduces a new provision that explicitly includes personal email addresses as confidential information, further broadening the scope of protected personal data. Overall, the amendments reflect a commitment to enhancing the privacy rights of public employees in Louisiana.
