OPEN RECORDS

In 2002, Pennsylvania’s Open Records Law was amended to make important improvements regarding access to what the law defines as a public record. LWVPA supported the amendments, while acknowledging that they fell far short of needed reform because the very limited definition of what constitutes a public record was left unchanged and the law does not apply to the state legislature, Auditor General, Treasurer and Attorney General.
