1 Erik Arneson, Executive Director Right-to-Know Law & Sunshine Act September 15, (717)
2 Right-to-Know Law Basics All government records are presumed to be public records. 30 exceptions in the RTKL Exceptions in other laws & regulations Attorney-client privilege & other privileges Can be made non-public by court order
3 What is a Record? A record is information, regardless of physical form or characteristics, that documents a transaction or activity of an agency and that is created, received or retained pursuant to law or in connection with a transaction, business or activity of the agency
4 Records Take Many Shapes The Right-to-Know Law Doesn t distinguish between s & paper Doesn t distinguish between agency devices & personal devices It only cares if the document / / whatever is a record and then if that record is a public record
5 Who Must Respond to Requests? Every government agency (state & local) is required to respond to RTK requests. Every agency has an Open Records Officer Must respond within 5 business days Can extend the timeline by 30 calendar days Response: grant, deny, or a mix of both
6 Record Retention The RTKL does not address record retention. Goal is a strong, effective retention policy Must balance agency needs & transparency Can t simply say 0 days for everything PHMC has a Municipal Records Manual Includes a retention schedule PHMC staff can be a great resource
7 Office of Open Records The OOR appeal process is simple. A requester denied access can appeal to OOR Must file appeal w/in 15 calendar days No lawyer necessary for requester OOR assigns Appeals Officer to oversee case Both sides can present evidence & argument OOR has 30 days to issue Final Determination
8 Contracts Available State contracts are in an online database. All state agency contracts > $5,000 Local contracts are also available. Make a request under the RTKL Some redactions may be made Can appeal denials to the OOR
9
10 Benefit of Contracts / Procurement Contract & procurement provisions are good for taxpayers. Providing access to those kinds of records helps businesses compete for gov t contracts Increased competition reduces taxpayer cost
11 Open Data Portals Some agencies posting large datasets. Pennsylvania Open Data Philly Western PA Regional Data Center
12 Sunshine Act Basics The Sunshine Act applies to Any state or local government body and all committees that perform an essential gov t function & exercises authority to take official action Making recommendations = official action
13 Sunshine Act Public Notice Public notice of a meeting must be provided. 3 days in advance of 1st regular meeting of the year, along w/ all remaining meetings Printed in a newspaper of general circulation Posted at the meeting site Special meetings = 24 hour notice
14 Sunshine Act Public Comment Public comment must be allowed. Right to comment on issues that are or may be before the board Board may establish reasonable rules for public comment
15 Sunshine Act Executive Session The basics of Executive Session: Held before, during, or after an open meeting Complete reason for Executive Session must be announced during the open meeting No official action can be taken during Executive Session
16 Sunshine Act Executive Session Allowable reasons to hold Executive Session: Personnel matters (hiring, firing, discipline) Discussing labor negotiations Considering purchasing or leasing property Consulting with counsel about litigation Avoiding violating privilege or confidentiality Discussing university admission standards
17 Sunshine Act Miscellaneous More requirements on the agency: Must produce minutes, including board attendance & who voted for and against No requirement for an agenda The public can record public meetings Agency recordings & minutes are public records
18 OOR Caseload Thousands of RTK appeals are filed every year. In 2015, OOR heard 2,926 appeals Total appeals, not total requests Of those, 61.3% involved local agencies
19 OOR - Appeals Filed in ,926 appeals filed w/ OOR in
20 State Agency Appeals in ,132 appeals involving state agencies in Department of Corrections 470 State Police 105 Department of Transportation 60 Other 418 Department of State 40 Office of the Governor 39
21 Local Agency Appeals in 2015
22 The Office of Open Records One of my goals is to simplify the RTK process for agencies & requesters. Constantly updating content YouTube videos covering the basics New AORO Guidebook for agencies Sample affidavit forms for agencies Suggestions welcome
23 Mediation Goal: Resolve more cases informally OOR authorized to establish mediation Limited resources made this difficult in past Resources still limited, but moving forward No harm in agreeing to mediation Worst-case scenario: FD is slightly delayed
24 Training from the OOR Training on the RTKL & Sunshine Act OOR website filled with information YouTube, podcast On-site training Details on OOR website Or call George Spiess,
