summary
This amendment clarifies that all medical records submitted to a municipal board of appeals or a code enforcement officer and any other documents submitted for the purpose of describing or verifying a person's disability are confidential. This amendment addresses a concern that under the language in the bill, medical records submitted to the board or code enforcement officer that do not actually describe or verify a person's disability but nonetheless contain private information would become public records.
