Statute text

(a)As used in this section, “trade secret” means a trade secret as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 7924.510 of the Government Code or Section 1061 of the Evidence Code, and shall include the schedule submitted to the division pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 7872 of this code, and the scheduling, duration, layout, configuration, and type of work to be performed during a turnaround. Upon completion of a turnaround, the scheduling and duration of that turnaround shall no longer be considered a trade secret. The wages, hours, benefits, job classifications, and training standards for employees performing work for refinery employers is not a trade secret.

(b)(1) If a refinery employer believes that information submitted to the division pursuant to Section 7872 may involve the release of a trade secret, the refinery employer shall nevertheless provide this information to the division. The refinery employer, at the time of submission, may identify all or a portion of the information submitted to the division as trade secret and, to the extent feasible, segregate records designated as trade secret from the other records.

(2)Subject to subdivisions (c), (d), and (g), the division shall not release to the public any information designated as a trade secret by the refinery employer pursuant to paragraph (1).
