Title 30 : Public Service
Chapter 082 : Communications Union Districts
(Cite as: 30 V.S.A. § 3084)-
§ 3084. Confidentiality; legislative intent
(a) The purpose of this section is to clarify that any records or information produced or acquired by a district that are trade secrets or confidential business information shall be exempt from public inspection and copying pursuant to 1 V.S.A. § 317(c)(9).
(b) For purposes of this section, “confidential business information” includes the operational records of any internet service provider under contract with a district for the construction of a broadband network or to provide broadband service, or both, as well as detailed information about the district’s deployment plans if public disclosure could put the district at a competitive disadvantage. Business records of a district carry a presumption of confidentiality. The exemption and presumption specified in this section shall not, however, apply to district governance records and information. (Added 2021, No. 71, § 11, eff. June 8, 2021; amended 2023, No. 99 (Adj. Sess.), § 7, eff. May 6, 2024.)
