SB 272 What Just Happened? FAITH CONLEY LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE, CSAC
A Quick Refresher SB 272 (Hertzberg, 2015) requires local agencies to create a catalog of enterprise systems and post it on their website. It started out as an incredibly broad bill to require agencies to create an inventory of data. CSAC worked diligently to narrow the bill to what was signed into law by Governor Brown.
But Why? Privacy advocates laud SB 272 as allowing for greater accountability and transparency regarding types of information collected about the public. The Legislature s intent was to help local agencies gain operational efficiency and increase collaboration by allowing online access to public sector data. We re not quite sure SB 272 does either; regardless, it s now in law and we re here to begin helping your agencies figure out how to comply by July 1. Once SB 272 goes into effect, CSAC will work with legal counsels and other stakeholders in developing guidelines on what counties and other local governments are including in their catalogs and what they re believing are exempt.
Now How? Rather than try to give you a lobbyist s explanation of how to implement this new law, CSAC is bringing you a couple of experts in the area. Sloane dell Orto is the VP Chief Strategist for Streamline, building tools to help local government with online compliance. Most Streamline work is with the CA Special Districts Association; CSAC utilizes Streamline technical expertise on data policy issues that have become prominent in the Legislature and will continue to do so in the coming years.
Now How?, cntd Premdeep Dhanoa is the Senior Information Technology Manager for the County of Santa Clara. Santa Clara County has already started the compliance process for SB 272 and we ll hear from Mr. Dhanoa the process the County went through to arrive at posting the catalog and ensuring compliance. Off we go!
