Bill overview
This bill seeks to expand the existing public records law in Massachusetts to include the Governor and the Legislature. Currently, these branches of government are largely exempt from certain public records requests. This legislation would require them to provide access to documents and information upon request, similar to how state agencies operate. Supporters argue this would increase transparency and accountability within the executive and legislative branches.
