Bill > H2807

This bill proposes to amend Section 7 of chapter 4 of the general laws, which defines "public records." Specifically, it seeks to add language to the existing definition to include records from "a non-profit corporation formed by a political subdivision or its departments," meaning that records held by such non-profit entities, which are created by local government bodies or their departments, would now be considered public records and subject to public access laws. This change aims to ensure greater transparency and accountability by extending the scope of what constitutes a public record to encompass these types of affiliated non-profit organizations.
