Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 49, December 6, 2024
Section 35302 - Disclosure Policy

The public has a right under the Public Records Act to access public records maintained by the Department. Public records that are not exempt from disclosure by state or federal law may be inspected and copied by the public pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Public Records Act (Government Code section 6250 et seq.) and this chapter. Examples of records that are exempt from disclosure include, but are not limited to, tax and fee information that must be kept confidential under state or federal laws, confidential legal advice, records prepared in connection with pending litigation, preliminary drafts of interagency and intra-agency memorandums and other documents not retained by Department staff in the normal course of business, personnel, medical or similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and test questions, scoring keys, and other data regarding licensing, employment and academic examinations. Also, any reasonably segregable portion of a public record may be inspected and copied after deletion of the portions that are exempt from disclosure.
