    Enacts new GS 132-1.15 regarding personally identifiable information held by animal shelters. Information about the following is not public record: (1) individuals who surrendered animals to animal shelters; (2) individuals who put animals in long-term hold or foster settings because of domestic violence; (3) individuals who adopted a shelter animal or are fostering a shelter animal; (4) disposition of animals removed from situations of statutory animal cruelty according to GS 14-363.2. The identify of animal rescue centers receiving animals from county animal control services is public record. Gives counties discretion as to whether to disclose information that is not a public record.
