     On page 1, line 11, strike all of subsection (b) and insert the following:

     "(b) Personal information in files maintained for employees, appointees, or elected officials, including, but not limited to, law enforcement officers and corrections officers, of any public agency to the extent that disclosure would violate their right to privacy or threaten their safety or the safety of their families.  This information includes, but is not limited to, residential addresses, residential telephone numbers, contents of public employment records, and financial information other than the public salaries paid to employees, appointees, or elected officials, as otherwise provided."

EFFECT: Clarifies that the exemption applies to law enforcement officers and corrections officers; allows personal information to be exempt if it will threaten the safety of employees or their families; clarifies that residential addresses, telephone numbers, contents of public employment records, and financial information are exempt from disclosure; and removes language referring to property and tax records.
