relative to attorney's fees in actions under the right to know law.
This bill adjusts the timing for when a specific section of the Right to Know Law applies to public records requests. It establishes that the new rules regarding attorney's fees will only begin to apply to requests made 60 days after the law takes effect. The legislation is set to become active on January 1, 2025, giving individuals and organizations time to adjust to the updated fee provisions.
