A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 30-4-40, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO MATTERS EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT, SO AS TO MODIFY AND CLARIFY THE LANGUAGE REGARDING MATERIALS RELATING TO THE NUMBER OF FINALISTS TO FILL AN EMPLOYMENT POSITION.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Section 30-4-40(a)(13) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 423 of 1998, is further amended to read:

"(13) All materials, regardless of form, gathered by a public body during a search to fill an employment position, except that materials relating to not fewer than the final three three or fewer final applicants under consideration for a position must be made available for public inspection and copying. In addition to making available for public inspection and copying the materials described in this item, the public body must disclose, upon request, the number of applicants considered for a position. For the purpose of this item, 'materials relating to not fewer than the final three three or fewer final applicants' do not include an applicant's income tax returns, medical records, social security number, or information otherwise exempt from disclosure by this section."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
