Local government public records consultation

Contact: Logan Bahr, Brandon Anderson

In 2017, the Legislature passed HB 1594, which created the Local Government Public Records Consultation Program within the state Attorney General’s Office. The program is available free of charge to assist cities and towns in developing Public Records Act “best practices” for:

  • Responding to records;
  • Updating technology; and
  • Mitigating liability and costs of compliances.

Based upon the needs of your city, consultation may be via telephone, email, or in-person.

If you would like to learn more about the program or request a consultation, visit the Local Government Public Records Consultation webpage.
