19.36 (13) Utility security system plans. (a) In this subsection:
1. "Security system plan" means a plan for the physical or electronic security of facilities, telecommunications systems, or information technology systems owned or operated by a utility, including any information, photograph, audio or visual presentation, schematic diagram, survey, recommendation, consultation, or other communication related to such a plan, and including any threat assessment, vulnerability or capability assessment, or threat response plan or any emergency evacuation plan.
