OFFICE OF OPEN RECORDS
Right-to-Know Law and Sunshine Law Annual Training
[49 Pa.B. 6651]
[Saturday, November 2, 2019]The Office of Open Records (OOR) is conducting its annual training on the Right-to-Know Law (RTKL) (65 P.S. §§ 67.101—67.3104) and 65 Pa.C.S. §§ 701—716 (relating to Sunshine Act) on Thursday, November 7, 2019, from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Capitol Media Center. This year's training will include four sessions followed by a question and answer period. The sessions are:
* A review and discussion of the latest court decisions involving the RTKL, including an overview of what's on the legal horizon regarding upcoming cases on the courts' dockets and significant issues for attorneys.
* An updated overview of the OOR's proposed RTKL regulations and the regulatory process.
* A discussion of the upcoming OOR Docketing System, which will be rolled out in the coming months, and provide a hands-on tutorial. The new Docketing System is designed to make the RTKL appeal process smoother for all parties.
* A review with up-to-date information on the Commonwealth's Sunshine Act, which governs access to public meetings.
The OOR's annual training is free and open to everyone. To register, visit https://oor-training-2019.eventbrite.com. (While everyone is welcome to attend, those most likely to benefit include elected and appointed public officials, agency open records officers and attorneys who regularly deal with the RTKL or the Sunshine Act, or both. The OOR will schedule separate sessions to focus on issues more of interest to requesters.)
The training can be attended in person or online by means of the webinar.
This program is approved for two substantive CLE credits.
