A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT to broaden the exception to the public records act for identifying information of minors participating in local government parks and recreation programs to include all local government programs and also to protect e‑mail addresses of minors in such programs in the towns of cary, garner, knightdale, morrisville, rolesville, wake forest, wendell, and zebulon.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 132‑1.12 reads as rewritten:

"§ 132‑1.12.  Limited access to identifying information of minors participating in local government parks and recreation programs.

(a)        A public record, as defined by G.S. 132‑1, does not include, as to any minor participating in a park or recreation program sponsored by a local government or combination of local governments, any of the following information as to that minor participant: (i) name, (ii) address, (iii) age, (iv) date of birth, (v) telephone number, (vi) the name or address of that minor participant's parent or legal guardian, (vii) e‑mail address, or (vii) (viii) any other identifying information on an application to participate in such program or other records related to that program. Notwithstanding this subsection, the name of a minor who has received a scholarship or other local-government funded award of a financial nature from a local government is a public record.

(b)        The county, municipality, and zip code of residence of each participating minor covered by subsection (a) of this section is a public record, with the information listed in subsection (a) of this section redacted.

(c)        Nothing in this section makes the information listed in subsection (a) of this section confidential information."

SECTION 2.  This act applies to the Towns of Cary, Garner, Knightdale, Morrisville, Rolesville, Wake Forest, Wendell, and Zebulon only.

SECTION 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
