Before posting, the local filing officer shall redact the street name and building number of the persons or entity representatives listed on any report or document, or any bank account number required to be disclosed by the filer. Providing a link on the agency’s internet website to the report or other document satisfies this subdivision.(b)

If a local government agency receives a filing that was required to be filed with a different agency or person, and the filing was not required to be filed with the receiving agency, the local government agency is not required to post the filing pursuant to subdivision (a) and shall notify the filer of the error.
