À propos de ce contenu audio
This week, significant developments in public records law unfolded across the United States. In California, the Supreme Court ruled that agencies remain accountable for their record-keeping practices even when records no longer exist, emphasizing that declaratory relief is still available to challenge exemption claims. Meanwhile, New Mexico is advancing legislation to tackle a statewide records backlog, proposing a task force to explore software solutions and process improvements. On the federal level, two district court rulings addressed attorney fee liability and litigation delays, highlighting the importance of process discipline and resource constraints in public records cases. These developments underscore the ongoing challenges and evolving legal landscape surrounding public records access and accountability.
