Bill overview
This bill authorizes the Government Records Council (GRC) to use its annual appropriations to hire staff attorneys exclusively to assist in handling complaints related to access to government records. Currently, the GRC relies on existing staff and the Department of Community Affairs for support. By employing dedicated attorneys, the bill aims to expedite the processing of complaints and reduce the backlog of cases. The bill also requires the GRC to consider resource availability when preparing its budget request.
