Relates to making certain public records available on the internet
S 387 requires state and local government agencies, as well as certain non-governmental entities performing public functions (like school districts or public authorities), to proactively publish specific public records online. It defines "publishable state data" as records that can be shared without violating privacy, safety, or legal restrictions. Agencies must make these records accessible via the internet within 60 days of the law's effective date, following rules established by the Open Government Committee. This shifts transparency from reactive requests under existing law to a system where relevant documents are automatically published online for public access.
