A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO EXEMPT CERTAIN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RECORDS FROM DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 132-6 reads as rewritten:
"§ 132-6. Inspection and examination of records.
Every person having custody of public records shall permit them to be inspected and examined at reasonable times and under his supervision by any person, and shall furnish certified copies thereof on payment of fees as prescribed by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, public records relating to the proposed expansion or location of specific business or industrial projects in the State may be withheld so long as their inspection, examination or copying would frustrate the purpose for which such public records were created; in addition, information received by a State agency or its representative that relates to a proposed expansion or location of a specific business or industrial project in this State and that is identified by a business or its representative as proprietary information, and any letter, report, memorandum, recording, chart, or other document that would disclose the identified proprietary information is confidential and may not be disclosed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to permit the withholding of public records relating to general economic development policies or activities."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
