1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a record or portion of a record that

contains personally identifiable information collected by automated means over the

Internet or other digital network by a governmental entity as part of the electronic

collection of information from the general public is confidential if the governmental

entity determines that the disclosure of the personally identifiable information could

potentially create negative consequences, including, without limitation, financial

pursuant to subsection 1 if the requester demonstrates a compelling operational, administrative,

outweighs the risk of potential negative consequences to the person to whom the record

pertains. 4. On or before February 15 of each year, a governmental entity shall: (a) Prepare a report that provides a detailed description of each record or portion

of a record determined to be confidential pursuant to subsection 1 and an explanation
