Around the States

This week continues to see States looking at changing their public records laws.

South Dakota has seen a number of bills introduced that would open a number of records to disclosure, even though it appears that some of the bills are less pro-disclosure than others.  It looks to be an intersting year in South Dakota for disclosure purposes.

Washington has a bill introduced that exempts certain information from its public records law.  Concurrent with this bill, the state has a commission reviewing the exemptions currently written into the law.
