§ 4-1-6-9 — Annual report to general assembly; specific statutory authorization for confidentiality; recommendations

(a) Under the authority of the governor, a report
shall be prepared, on or before December 1 annually, advising the
general assembly of the personal information systems, or parts thereof,
of agencies subject to this chapter, which are recommended to be
maintained on a confidential basis by specific statutory authorization
because their disclosure would constitute an invasion of personal
privacy and there is no compelling, demonstrable and overriding public
interest in disclosure. Such recommendations may include, but not be
limited to, specific personal information systems or parts thereof which
can be categorized as follows:
(1) Personal information maintained with respect to students and
clients, patients or other individuals receiving social, medical,
vocational, supervisory or custodial care or services directly or
indirectly from public bodies.
(2) Personal information, excepting salary information,
maintained with respect to employees, appointees or elected
officials of any public body or applicants for such positions.
(3) Information required of any taxpayer in connection with the
assessment or collection of any income tax.
(4) Information revealing the identity of persons who file
complaints with administrative, investigative, law enforcement or
penology agencies.
(b) In addition, such report may list records or categories of records,
which are recommended to be exempted from public disclosure by
specific statutory authorization for reasons other than that their
disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy, along with justification therefor.
(c) A report described in this section must be in an electronic format
under IC 5-14-6.
