In celebration of Sunshine Week 2024, the Office of Open Records is joining other stakeholders on March 13 from 9-12 for a great discussion:

• Sunshine Act Update. Learn more about the state’s open meetings law, the Sunshine Act. This discussion will include a review of recent Commonwealth Court decisions.  Valuable tips and trends essential for both legal practitioners and news organizations will be shared.
• Investigative Journalists & the Right-to-Know Law. We’ll hear from seasoned investigative reporters who explain the challenges they’ve had in obtaining records as well as best practices for getting information that is deemed public.
• The First Fifteen. The “new” Right-to-Know Law was signed in 2008 with the Office of Open Records beginning its work the next year. Let’s hear how things have changed over the last 15 years. All three OOR executive directors – past and present – will reflect.

You may join us virtually or in person in Harrisburg at the beautiful new State Archives Building.

There is an opportunity for 2.5 CLE credits for attorneys.
