HB-4009, As Passed House, March 19, 2019

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SUBSTITUTE FOR

 

HOUSE BILL NO. 4009

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     A bill to amend 1976 PA 442, entitled

 

"Freedom of information act,"

 

(MCL 15.231 to 15.246) by adding sections 29e and 29f.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 29e. (1) If a public record contains material that is not

 

exempt under section 29d, as well as material that is exempt from

 

disclosure under section 29d, the public body shall separate the

 

exempt and nonexempt material and make the nonexempt material

 

available for examination and copying.

 

     (2) When designing a public record, a public body shall, to

 

the extent practicable, facilitate a separation of exempt from

 

nonexempt information. If the separation is readily apparent to a

 

person requesting to inspect or receive copies of the form, the

 

public body shall generally describe the material exempted unless

that description would reveal the contents of the exempt

 

information and thus defeat the purpose of the exemption.

 

     Sec. 29f. The attorney general shall counsel and advise a

 

public body on the administration of this part upon request.

 

     Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect January

 

1, 2020.

 

     Enacting section 2. This amendatory act does not take effect

 

unless House Bill No. 4011 of the 100th Legislature is enacted into

 

law.
