Ga. Attorney General Attempts To Reform Open Records Laws

This past legislative session, Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens tried and failed to update the state’s open records laws. He hopes to fare better next year. It’s why Olens is meeting with stakeholders throughout the summer and laying out the case for reform.

“When you’re talking about the sunshine laws of the state, the sections of the law as they currently exist are far from clear and easy to understand, ” said Olens.

The sunshine laws, as they’re known, outline government protocol for holding meetings and releasing records.
