Description

Virginia Port Authority; disclosure of certain marketing information. Provides that records of the allowances or reimbursements for expenses paid to any officer or employee of the Authority or any entity, including but not limited to any entity operating a terminal on behalf of the Authority, that are incurred for business development or marketing of the ports of the Commonwealth shall be open to public disclosure in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. The bill exempts from public disclosure those portions of such records that would identify specific business development or marketing activities with existing or future parties with whom the Authority has formed, or forms, any arrangement for the shipment of goods and cargoes through the ports, if disclosure of such information would be harmful to the competitive position of the Authority.
