What happens if a public record holds some information that is open to the public and some information that falls within an exception to the Freedom of Access Act?
Some public records contain a mixture of information that is public and information that is confidential or otherwise not subject to public inspection under the Freedom of Access Act. If the record you requested contains any confidential or excepted information, the custodian will decide if the confidential or excepted information can be adequately redacted or blacked out so that public access can be provided or if public access to the document should be denied.
