Relates to making certain public records available on the internet
This bill requires state and local government agencies and certain non-governmental entities that function like government bodies to proactively publish public records online. It defines "publishable state data" as information that can be made public without violating privacy, safety, or other legal restrictions, such as those protecting personal information or ongoing investigations. Agencies must create rules for online access, including setting fees for printed copies (capped at 25 cents per photocopy) and specifying when and how records are available. The law aims to increase public access to government records by leveraging technology, as mandated by the Freedom of Information Law.
