 1  with personal identifying information concerning the spouses

 2  and children of guardians ad litem, including the names and

 3  locations of schools and day care facilities attended by the

 4  children of guardians ad litem, should be made exempt from

 5  public disclosure. The Legislature finds that a guardian ad

 6  litem at times interacts with persons who may be disgruntled

 7  with the testimony, report, or recommendation made by the

 8  guardian ad litem and that the release of identifying

 9  information or location information could make the guardian ad

10  litem or his or her spouse or children potential targets for

11  acts of harm. Accordingly, it is a public necessity that

12  identifying information and location information concerning

13  guardians ad litem and their spouses and children be made

14  exempt from public disclosure.

15         Section 3.  This act shall take effect October 1, 2005.
