Public Records Law

Public Records Law governs the accessibility of documents and information held by government agencies. It ensures that citizens can request and review records, promoting transparency and accountability in government operations. This law typically covers various documents, including meeting minutes, reports, and correspondence. While there are exceptions for sensitive information (like personal data or ongoing investigations), the general principle is that most records should be available for public inspection. This empowers individuals to stay informed and engage with their government, fostering a more open and democratic society.
