What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the drafting section of the Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB) may draft proposed legislation for legislators, state government agencies, the chief clerks of the assembly and senate, and party caucuses of the assembly and senate. Under current law, the LRB may not disclose records of drafting requests that did not result in introduced legislation. Under this bill, generally, with regards to drafts that have not been introduced, if a person who made a request for proposed legislation disclosed a draft of the proposed legislation to another person, other than a person who may request drafting services under current law, the draft, but not the file for the drafting request, is subject to an open records request and the person who made the drafting request is the legal custodian of the draft.
