Under current law, specific types of information may be withheld from the public unless disclosed in an open court, open administrative proceeding or meeting or disclosed by a public entity pursuant to its duties.
LB902, introduced by Brainard Sen. Bruce Bostelman, adds to those exemptions information regarding firearm registration, possession, sale or use that is obtained by a government entity for an application or permit. Such information will, however, be available to any federal, state, county or local law enforcement agency.
The bill passed 47-0.
