SB 2600 Rhode Island Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC RECORDS -- PUBLIC RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

SB 2600 requires the public records administrator to create a single, standardized form for requesting public records across all state and local government entities. This directly affects all public bodies (including state agencies, cities, and towns) that handle public record requests. The bill mandates consistent statewide rules for using this form, replacing varying local processes. It does not change access rights or fees but simplifies the request process for the public. The uniform form must be adopted and implemented by the administrator under existing public records laws.
