An Act extending the public records law to the Governor and the Legislature

This bill (SD 2334) extends Massachusetts' public records law to include the Governor's office and the Legislature, making their communications and documents subject to disclosure under the law. It amends key sections of the General Laws (specifically Chapter 4, Section 7 and Chapter 66, Sections 1A, 6A, and 10) to replace references to "agencies and municipalities" with "agencies, municipalities, the general court, and the governor." The bill includes exceptions for certain communications, such as constituent requests for government services or internal policy development drafts. It takes effect on January 1, 2026.
