The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

SB8, s. 1 Section 1. 19.36 (13) of the statutes is created to read:

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.

2. "Utility" means a person that generates, transmits, or distributes electricity, transports or distributes natural gas, operates a public water system, or provides telecommunications or sewer service.

(b) An authority may withhold access to any record containing a security system plan or a portion of a security system plan if the authority determines that a facility or system that is the subject of the plan is so vital to the state that the incapacity or destruction of the facility or system would have a debilitating impact on the physical or economic security of the state or on public health, safety, or welfare.
