| | | 2. Review and evaluation.__ Upon referral of a proposed public | | records exception from the joint standing committee of the | | Legislature having jurisdiction over the proposal, the review | | committee shall conduct a review and evaluation of the proposal | | and shall report in a timely manner to the committee to which the | | proposal was referred.__The review committee shall use the | | following criteria to determine whether the proposed exception | | should be enacted: |
|

|
| | | B.__The value to the agency or official or to the public in | | maintaining a record protected by the proposed exception; |
|
| | | C.__Whether federal law requires a record covered by the | | proposed exception to be confidential; |
|
| | | D.__Whether the proposed exception protects an individual's | | privacy interest and, if so, whether that interest | | substantially outweighs the public interest in the | | disclosure of records; |
|
| | | E.__Whether public disclosure puts a business at a | | competitive disadvantage and, if so, whether that business's | | interest substantially outweighs the public interest in the | | disclosure of records; |
|
| | | F.__Whether public disclosure compromises the position of a | | public body in negotiations and, if so, whether that public | | body's interest substantially outweighs the public interest | | in the disclosure of records; |
|
| | | G.__Whether public disclosure jeopardizes the safety of a | | member of the public or the public in general and, if so, | | whether that safety interest substantially outweighs the | | public interest in the disclosure of records; |
|
| | | H.__Whether the proposed exception is as narrowly tailored | | as possible; and |
|
| | | I.__Any other criteria that assist the review committee in | | determining the value of the proposed exception as compared | | to the public's interest in the record protected by the | | proposed exception. |
