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; and, in procedure, providing for acceptable denials.

SB 431 amends Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law (2008) to clarify definitions of public records and update procedures for agencies denying requests. It directly affects Pennsylvania residents seeking public records and government agencies handling those requests. Key provisions include defining specific record types more clearly and establishing new, acceptable reasons for agencies to deny requests, such as protecting privacy or ongoing investigations. The bill aims to make the process more transparent and consistent for both citizens and government entities.
