relative to local records retention.

This bill clarifies that citizens can request government records electronically without needing to visit public offices in person. It allows public bodies to accept and provide records via digital means, such as email or online portals, while still permitting physical copies through traditional methods like printing or photography. The law applies to all public agencies and ensures that electronic requests are treated the same as written requests for existing records. These changes take effect 60 days after the bill is passed into law.
