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 requests such confidentiality. This change aims to safeguard the privacy of public employees, particularly those whose occupations may warrant additional protection.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the home telephone number of a public employee will be confidential if the employee has chosen to have a private or unlisted number due to the nature of their job. The language has been updated to remove the term "such" in several instances, replacing it with "the" for clarity. The bill also introduces a new provision that includes personal email addresses as confidential information, further expanding the scope of privacy protections for public employees.
