For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall
apply:
"Confidential record" means a record that is
not available as a matter of right for examination and copying by members of
the public under applicable provisions of law. Confidential records include
records or information contained in records that the agency is prohibited by
law from making available for examination by members of the public, and records
or information contained in records that are specified as confidential by Iowa
Code section 22.7, or other provision of law,
but that may be disclosed upon order of a court, the lawful custodian of the
record, or by another person duly authorized to release the record. Mere
inclusion in a record of information declared confidential by an applicable
provision of law does not necessarily make that entire record a confidential
record. Included in the definition are those data collected by the department,
pursuant to 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1212, for preparation and dissemination as
compilations.
"Record" means the whole or a part of a
"public record" as defined in Iowa Code section
22.1 that is owned by or in the
physical possession of this agency.
