Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, such records shall be available for inspection in the manner set forth in section 92-51; provided that with respect to records of family child care homes and group child care homes, sensitive personal information or information provided to the department with the understanding that it would not be publicly divulged shall be deleted or obliterated prior to making the records available to the public.
