105 the individual privacy right that protects the record or record series.

107 record series to a contractor or a private provider according to the requirements of Subsection
108 (6)(b).
109 (3) (a) A governmental entity shall provide a private, controlled, or protected record to

123 (b) if the recipient is not a governmental entity to which this chapter applies, obtain the
124 recipient's written agreement which may be by mechanical or electronic transmission that it
125 will abide by those restrictions on access unless a statute, federal regulation, or interstate
126 agreement otherwise governs the sharing of the record or record series.

128 foreign government for the reasons listed in Subsections (1) and (2) without complying with

148 receipt under this section of a record with a different classification that contains information
149 that is also included in the previously held record.
150 (7) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, if a more specific court rule or
