Present law requires certain public records to be treated as confidential and to not be open for public inspection, including survey records, responses, data, identifying information, intra-agency and interagency communications, and other records received to serve as input for any survey created, obtained, or compiled by the comptroller of the treasury. However, such confidentiality does not apply to a survey conducted by the office of open records counsel. This bill revises the above provision by authorizing the comptroller of the treasury to publish aggregate survey data and survey responses that cannot be used to identify individuals completing the survey. Such published records would not be deemed confidential.
