Section 17042 - Disclosure Policy

It is the policy of the Department that all records not exempted from disclosure by state or federal law shall be available for public inspection as provided in the California Public Records Act, Government Code section 6250et seq. Requests for records that are not exempt from disclosure by state or federal law, and which are determined as provided in this article to be confidential or proprietary shall be evaluated to determine whether, on the facts of the particular case, the public interest served by not making the record public clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record.
