copying.

A. At the sole discretion of the public body, a public body may

keep personnel records confidential:

1. Which relate to internal personnel investigations including

examination and selection material for employment, hiring,

appointment, promotion, demotion, discipline or resignation; or

2. Where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted

invasion of personal privacy such as employee evaluations, payroll

deductions, employment applications submitted by persons not hired

by the public body and transcripts from institutions of higher

education maintained in the personnel files of certified public

school employees; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection

shall be construed to exempt from disclosure the degree obtained and

the curriculum on the transcripts of certified public school

employees.

B. All personnel records not specifically falling within the

exceptions provided in subsection A or D of this section shall be

available for public inspection and copying including, but not

limited to, records of:

1. An employment application of a person who becomes a public

official;

2. The gross receipts of public funds;

3. The dates of employment, title or position; and

4. Any final disciplinary action resulting in loss of pay,

suspension, demotion of position or termination.

C. Except as may otherwise be made confidential by statute, an

employee of a public body shall have a right of access to his own

personnel file.

D. The home addresses, home telephone numbers, Social Security

numbers, private email addresses, and private mobile phone numbers

of current and former public employees shall not be open to public

inspection or disclosure; provided, however, that nothing in this

subsection shall be construed to exempt from disclosure public

records created using a private email address or private mobile

phone.
