Redactions

Some supplier information has been replaced with a generic term to protect someone's privacy or a sensitive area of operations. For example, payments to foster care parents, food assistance, and certain public safety or medical programs have been redacted to protect those individuals privacy.

Below are the replacement terms and a description of what it replaces:

• Confidential*: Human services program payments (e.g. foster care, adoption, medical services, emergency assistance). Certain Information Technology suppliers have been noted as Confidential due to potential cyber-security threats.
• Claimant: Payees for self-insurance claims.
• Election Worker: Temporary workers for an election.
• Employee: Payments to employees.
• Inmate: Payments to an inmate.
• Public Safety: Payments for Sheriff's drug/vice activities, undercover or other confidential operations.
