SB 226 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of February 14, 2008 (P.L.6, No.3), known as the Right-to-Know Law, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions.

SB 226 amends Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law by changing the definition of "State-affiliated entity." Specifically, it removes the Pennsylvania School Boards Association and the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association from this definition. This means these two organizations would no longer be classified as "State-affiliated entities" under the law, which could affect public access to their records. The bill directly impacts these organizations and individuals seeking information from them under the Right-to-Know Law.
