providing to us is a protected trade secret or proprietary information that's confidential under the law, the hrc or any other city agency cannot disclose that to the public. so, this ordinance can't override the sunshine ordinance. whether information -- whether a particular piece of information that's provided by a contractor is a trade secret or is proprietary is really a factual determination. so, the hrc will be looking at whatever data they have if there is a sunshine request, working with my office to determine whether any -- whether that information is protected trade secret or protected proprietary information. and if it is, hrc won't disclose it. so, this amendment, i think, could be described as clarifying that hrc will not turn over information that's protected from disclosure, but the ordinance would not override the sunshine ordinance. >> thank you. and i have some questions about the legislation. from my perspective, it's clear that this is a board of supervisors that supports equal pay as supervisor kim ha stated. i just want to make sure that whatever we choose to do it's respons

and as well as the hrc, i do understand that they weighed in on this also in support of this legislation even though they did bring up some concerns. so, with that said, again, i just really want to see us work together to make this an even more impactful legislation to really look hard at some of the information that's already provided to us currently, and see how we cannot reinvent the wheel but just repurpose some of the information so it's not an incredible extra burden for many of our nonprofits or public -- public works contracts that do business with the city. so, with that said, i'd like to make a motion and see if we can refer this to committee with reference to the commission on status of women to dcyf and to hrc as well. thank you. >> okay. supervisor tang has made a motion that this be referred to committee with reference to those various commissions as seconded by supervisor breed. i was just told by our board clerk that the motion to refer to committee takes precedence over the motion to amend so we'll take it in that order. but why don't we continue discussion. supervisor
