Opinion Letter No. 97-07
July 18, 1997
Required Disclosure of Certified Payroll Records
The OIP reconfirmed its earlier opinion (Opinion Letter
Number 89-8, Nov. 20, 1989), which
advised that State and County agencies are required to disclose
certified payroll records submitted by
contractors on public works contracts. Under the UIPA’s mandatory
disclosure requirements, section
92F-12(a), Hawaii Revised Statutes, certified payroll records are
specifically made public.
Furthermore, the personal privacy exception to disclosure
set forth in section 92F-13(1), Hawaii
Revised Statutes, does not apply to prevent disclosure of personal
information contained within those
certified payroll records, even if an individual asks the agency
to redact personal information from the
certified payroll record because records described as public under
section 92F-12, Hawaii Revised
Statutes, are not subject to the disclosure exceptions set forth
in section 92F-13, Hawaii Revised
Statutes.
