Confidentiality of Records

Any record, recording or information, or portions thereof, obtained by a public agency, or a public safety agency, for the purpose of providing services in an emergency, and which reveals the name, address, telephone number or personal information about, or information which may identify any person requesting emergency service by accessing an emergency telephone number “911” system, is confidential, except that such record or information may be disclosed to a public safety agency. The exemption applies only to the name, address, telephone number or personal information about, or information which may identify any person requesting emergency services or reporting an emergency while such information is in the custody of the public agency or public safety agency providing emergency services. A LEC or CMRS provider shall not be liable for damages to any person resulting from or in connection with such LEC’s or CMRS provider’s provision of lawful assistance to any law enforcement officer in connection with any lawful investigation or other law enforcement activity by such law enforcement officer, unless the LEC or CMRS provider acted in a wanton or willful manner.
