   An act to amend Sections 72670, 72670.5, and 89901 of, and to add

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 330, Yee. Public records: auxiliary organizations.
    The California Public Records Act requires state and local
agencies to make their records available for public inspection and to
make copies available upon request and payment of a fee unless those
records are exempt from disclosure.
   This bill would require specified entities to comply with the act,
but would not require these entities to disclose information
obtained in the process of soliciting potential donors that has
actual or potential independent economic value because it is not
generally known to the public or because the individuals can obtain
economic value from its disclosure or use.
   This bill would specify that it is not the intent of the
Legislature to designate specified organizations as state agencies by
subjecting these organizations to the requirements of the act.
   The bill would exempt from disclosure under the act the names,
addresses, and telephone numbers of persons who volunteer services or
donate to specified entities if those persons request anonymity.
However, the bill would provide that this exemption does not apply if
a volunteer or donor meets specified conditions.
   This bill would also provide that it is the intent of the
Legislature to reject the court's interpretation of state law
regarding the application of the act to auxiliary organizations, such
as the CSU Fresno Association, at issue in California State
University, Fresno Assn., Inc. v. Superior Court (2001) 90
Cal.App.4th 810.
