Right to Know Laws

Right to Know Laws are regulations that give the public access to information held by government agencies. These laws ensure transparency and accountability by allowing individuals to request and obtain records about government actions, decisions, or activities that affect them. They often cover areas such as environmental data, public health information, and public safety. The goal is to empower citizens with knowledge, enabling them to participate in governance and hold public officials accountable. Overall, these laws support an informed citizenry and foster trust between the public and the government.
