Summary

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); personal information in constituent correspondence.  Provides an exemption for the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address contained in correspondence from a constituent to his elected representative on a local governing body or school board and such information contained in correspondence responding to the constituent.  The bill provides, however, that no record, which is otherwise open to inspection under FOIA, shall be deemed exempt by virtue of the fact that it has been attached to or incorporated within any such correspondence.
