PUBLIC RECORDS: Provides that public institutions of postsecondary education furnish public records without charge to student media organizations affiliated with the institution (EN SEE FISC NOTE SG EX)

This bill requires public colleges and universities to provide public records to student media organizations without charging a fee. The amendment specifically clarifies that these records must be made available to both the institution itself and students enrolled there. By removing any potential costs, the law ensures that student-run news outlets can access necessary information to report on campus activities. This change directly affects postsecondary institutions and the student journalists who rely on public records for their work.
