28. Mandatory exceptions will be followed on all documents released to the public.   Mandatory exceptions are allowed under certain sections within the Public Information Act and do not require a ruling from the Attorney General’s Office.  These sections include, but are not limited to: Personal Identifying Information, information related to driver’s license, motor vehicle title or registration, credit card/bank account numbers, personal information of certain public employees, information about juveniles, information related to a protected class of victim, and information related to certain offenses.

    Discretionary exceptions may also be necessary on documents released to the public. In most instances, a governmental body is required to request a decision from the Attorney General in order to withhold information from a requestor. However, a requestor may permit a governmental body to redact information without requesting an Attorney General decision. You are not required to agree to the redaction of any information responsive to your request, but doing so may streamline the handling of your request. If you agree to redactions in this request, then you may request the redacted information in a future request.

30. Do you agree to the redaction of information that is subject to discretionary exceptions, provided such redactions are clearly labeled on the information you receive?*
