The recent amendments to Bill H 5075 introduce the "Personal Privacy Protection Act," which aims to restrict public bodies from collecting or sharing certain personal details about individuals involved with nonprofit organizations. The changes clarify specific exemptions, such as when information is requested through litigation or when it has been voluntarily released by the individual. Importantly, the amendments also establish penalties for violations, ensuring stronger protection of personal privacy.
