Oregon Governor Signs Two Open Records Laws

· Story link

Oregon’s governor signed into law two bills designed to accelerate the handling of public records requests and to release information that might be withheld under an attorney-client privilege claim. The first bill calls on agencies to respond “without delay” to records requests. The other calls for release of a condensed or summary version of information that could otherwise be withheld under attorney-client communications provisions. (6/25/07)
