(a) Under the authority of the governor, a report shall be prepared, on or before December 1 annually, advising the general assembly of the personal information systems, or parts thereof, of agencies subject to this chapter, which are recommended to be maintained on a confidential basis by specific statutory authorization because their disclosure would constitute an invasion of personal privacy and there is no compelling, demonstrable and overriding public interest in disclosure.

(b) In addition, such report may list records or categories of records, which are recommended to be exempted from public disclosure by specific statutory authorization for reasons other than that their disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, along with justification therefor.
