An Act amending the act of February 14, 2008 (P.L.6, No.3), known as the Right-to-Know Law, in procedure, further providing for exceptions for public records.
HB 1899 amends the Right-to-Know Law to update the procedures for when government records can be withheld from public access. It adds new specific categories of records that may be kept private, such as certain sensitive operational details or security-related information. This directly affects citizens requesting public records and government agencies handling those requests by clarifying which documents can be exempted. The bill focuses on refining the legal process for exceptions without changing the core public access principles of the existing law.
