Bill > S2393

This bill amends Rhode Island's Access to Public Records law to require that all requests to inspect or copy public records must include enough identifying information to verify the requester's identity and allow the public body to communicate with them, meaning anonymous requests will no longer be accepted. Specifically, requesters must provide their name and a valid mailing or email address, and public bodies will be permitted to communicate with requesters about their requests. This change aims to ensure accountability and facilitate the process of fulfilling public records requests, and the bill will become effective immediately upon its passage.
