What does this MEAN??
6275. It is the intent of the Legislature to assist embers of the public and state and local agencies in identifying exemptions to the California Public Records Act. It is the intent of the Legislature that, after January 1, 1999, each addition or amendment to a statute that exempts any information contained in a public record from disclosure pursuant to subdivision (k) of Section 6254 shall be listed and described in this article. The statutes listed in this
article may operate to exempt certain records, or portions thereof, from disclosure. The statutes listed and described may not be inclusive of all exemptions. The listing of a statute in this article does not itself create an exemption. Requesters of public records and public agencies are cautioned to review the applicable statute to determine the extent to which the statute, in light of the
circumstances surrounding the request, exempts public records from disclosure.
6276. Records or information not required to be disclosed pursuant to subdivision (k) of Section 6254 may include, but shall not be limited to, records or information identified in statutes listed in this article.
6277. (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of Section 6253, it may be considered impracticable for a state agency to provide an electronic copy of a record if the agency is unable to provide the electronic copy due to the actuality of a Year 2000 Problem or resulting from the diversion of resources or personnel by the agency, in good faith, to address the Year 2000 Problem.
(b) (1) Subdivision (a) shall apply only to a state agency that is given specific approval by the Department of Information Technology to cite subdivision (a) as a reason for noncompliance with subdivision (b) of Section 6253.
(2) A state agency that does not first request and then
subsequently receive specific approval from the Department of Information Technology pursuant to paragraph (1) shall comply with subdivision (b) of Section 6253.
(c) This section shall become inoperative on June 30, 2001, and as of January 1, 2002, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute that is enacted on or before January 1, 2002, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
Does this mean that records can or cannot be revealed? And does this mean that this is only in effect until Jan. 2002?
