Bill > HJM2

This Joint Memorial directs the Attorney General to establish a task force to examine how the Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) is being put into practice. IPRA is a law that gives the public the right to access government records, promoting transparency and accountability. The task force will consult with various groups and individuals, including representatives from government agencies, legal professionals, and organizations focused on open government, to assess IPRA's effectiveness and identify any necessary improvements. If the task force determines that changes are needed, it will propose new legislation for the legislature to consider during its upcoming session. The task force is also required to hold public meetings and allow public input throughout its study.
