A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO INFORMATION PRACTICES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§92F- Applicability of chapter to Hawaii convention center. The convention center facility, commonly known as the Hawaii convention center, shall be exempt from section 92F-12, if:
(1) A licensee has requested that the terms of the license agreement not be disclosed, and disclosure would result in a license agreement not to be executed by the licensee; or
(2) A potential licensee has requested that the terms of the license agreement not be disclosed, and disclosure would place the convention center at a competitive disadvantage."
SECTION 2. Section 92F-13, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§92F-13 Government records; exceptions to general rule. This part shall not require disclosure of:
(1) Government records which, if disclosed, would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;
(2) Government records pertaining to the prosecution or defense of any judicial or quasi-judicial action to which the State or any county is or may be a party, to the extent that such records would not be discoverable;
(3) Government records that, by their nature, must be confidential in order for the government to avoid the frustration of a legitimate government function;
(4) Government records which, pursuant to state or federal law including an order of any state or federal court, are protected from disclosure; [and]
(5) Inchoate and draft working papers of legislative committees including budget worksheets and unfiled committee reports; work product; records or transcripts of an investigating committee of the legislature which are closed by rules adopted pursuant to section 21-4 and the personal files of members of the legislature[.] and
(6) Records of the Hawaii convention center as provided in section 92F- ."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
