ACLU v. Wilson

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court answered two certified questions, holding that publicly available or nonconfidential information does not constitute "identifying information" under § 24-3-580(A)(2) and that a person cannot "knowingly disclose" such information under § 24-3-580(C). The Court based its decision on the plain meaning of the statute, the ordinary definitions of "reveal" and "disclose," and the legislature's intent to keep such information confidential.
