<ns0:Title>An act to amend Section 7928.710 of the Government Code, relating to public records.</ns0:Title>

<ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:Subject>California Public Records Act: public investment funds.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>The California Public Records Act (act) requires state and local agencies to make their records available for public inspection, unless an exemption from disclosure applies. The act exempts from disclosure certain records regarding alternative investments, as defined, in which public investment funds, as defined, invest. The act, however, requires certain information contained in those records to be disclosed, including, among other things, the name, address, and vintage year of each alternative investment vehicle.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would additionally require the disclosure of certain additional information, including, among other things, a comparison of the results from the alternative investment vehicle against the performance the public investment fund would have
experienced from investing the same amount in a public market index of corresponding assets traded in the public securities markets, after controlling for risk, liquidity, and expense. By placing additional duties and responsibilities upon local agencies in connection with requests for inspection of records, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
<html:p>The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.</html:p>
<html:p>The California
Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.</html:p>
