Postsec. | Requires specified entities to comply with the California Public Records Act (i.e., an auxiliary organization created by the governing board of a community college district, the board of governors of the California Community Colleges, entities related to the California State University or University of California), but does 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.
Specifies 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. Exempts 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. Provides, however, that this exemption does not apply if a volunteer or donor meets specified conditions. Also provides 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. Bill text: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/sen/sb_0301-0350/sb_330_bill_20100819_enrolled.pdf

Adds legislative intent that the California Interscholastic Federation (a voluntary organization of school and school-related personnel with responsibility for administering interscholastic athletic activities in secondary schools) implement policies to comply with the California Public Records Act, and in doing so, as a third party recipient of pupil and school personnel information, be afforded the same public records disclosure exemptions that are extended to school districts, so as to protect the confidentiality of pupil and school personnel records and information. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_0351-0400/ab_352_bill_20100715_chaptered.pdf

| MD | Signed into law 04/2010 | Postsec. | Expands eligibility for the privileges against compelled disclosure of (1) the source of news or information, regardless of whether the source has been promised confidentiality; or (2) news or information not communicated to the public that was procured by a person while employed by the news media during the course of the person's professional activities. Under the bill, the privileges would extend to postsecondary students engaged in any news gathering or news disseminating capacity recognized by their schools as a scholastic activity or in conjunction with an activity sponsored, funded, managed, or supervised by school staff or faculty ("school-related activity"). The privilege applies to any news or information procured by the student in the course of pursuing the scholastic or school-related activity. If any such person disseminates a source of news information while pursuing a professional, scholastic, or school-related activity, the protection from compelled disclosure is not waived by the person. The bill applies to and only affects subpoenas issued on or after the bill's October 1, 2010 effective date. http://mlis.state.md.us/2010rs/chapters_noln/Ch_140_hb0257T.pdf

| AL | Signed into law 02/2010 | P-12 | Provides that after determining the state board's proposed July 2009 amendment to Rule 290-4-1, creating the "Alabama Educator Code of Ethics," was ambiguous and incapable of being enforced as currently drafted, the legislative joint committee disapproved the proposed rule change and proposed a revised rule to be adopted by the board. Provides the state board of education refused to accept the recommended amendment and resubmit the revised rule while continuing to support the original proposed rule. Provides that because the state board of education refused to accept the proposed amendment and resubmit the revised rule proposed by the Joint Committee, the decision of the Joint Committee to disapprove the proposed amendment to Rule 290-4-1, entitled "Education Accountability," is sustained.
