The fundamental principle that the public has a right to know is in jeopardy. Passed into law in 1968, the California Public Records Act is easy to take it for granted. Today, please call the Governor to act to to defend CPRA safeguards that many assumed would never go away, such as requiring local governments to cite a legal reason before turning down requests for records, requiring a 10 day response time, and providing assistance to the public in making effective records requests. Today, please call the Governor at (916) 445-2841 and ask the following: “I urge Governor Brown to veto section 4 of Senate Bill 71 and Assembly Bill 76 (specifically section 6252.8 to the Goverment Code) to restore effectiveness to the Public Records Act.”
