Overview

California Senate Bill 272 (SB 272), adopted in 2015, added Government Code §6270.5 to the California Public Records Act. The law requires local agencies to create and annually update a catalog of enterprise systems and to post the catalog in a prominent location on the agency’s website. This catalog lists systems that store, collect, exchange, or analyze information used in District operations.

Definition of an Enterprise System

An “enterprise system” is a software application or computer system that:
1. Collects, stores, exchanges, or analyzes information used by the District; and
2. Is multi-departmental or contains information collected about the public; and
3. Serves as a system of record (an original source of data within the agency).

Required Information Included in the Catalog

For each enterprise system, SB 272 requires the District to disclose:
- System vendor
- System product name
- The system’s purpose
- A general description of categories or types of data maintained
- The department that is the system’s primary custodian
- Frequency of data collection
- Frequency of data updates

Exclusions

The following systems are excluded from SB 272 disclosure requirements:
- Information Technology security systems (firewalls, cybersecurity protections)
- Physical access control and employee identification systems
- Video monitoring and surveillance systems
- Infrastructure and mechanical control systems (water, sewer, natural gas, electrical, streetlight systems)
- Systems related to 911 dispatch and emergency services
