State university foundations would be authorized to keep secret the identities of donors requesting anonymity, as well as information about the donors' finances, under a proposed set of exceptions to the state's public records law.

Legislation in the House and Senate would bar public viewing of records that disclose information about a donor's personal, financial, estate planning or gift planning matters.

Portions of records that reveal the identities of donors or prospective donors who have requested anonymity would also be closed to public inspection."
