The PA Right-To-Know Law
The Right-to-Know Law defines a “public record” of an agency as any information that documents a transaction or activity of the agency, and information that is created, received, or retained either by law or in connection with the business or activities of the agency. This information can be in any physical form - paper or electronic, document or recording, etc. The term “public record” includes financial records of an agency. Financial records consist of accounting records of an agency and contracts which the agency has entered into, including final collective bargaining agreements and individual employment contracts. It also includes an individual employee’s salary and other compensation, and the length of service of an employee.
The Right-to-Know Law contains a long, detailed list of exclusions that would protect certain records of information about individual public employees. Please contact me if you have any questions about the Right-to-Know Law.
