Bill protects cybersecurity information from public records
BOISE, Idaho — A bill that exempts government cybersecurity information from public records requests is now moving to the Senate after passing the House Monday 48-20.

Those in support of the bill say it will protect cybersecurity technology from being exploited by attackers.
Those against the bill have concerns that too many government records are becoming exempt from public records requests.
We'll continue to follow this bill as the session continues.
