Here’s a Twitter thread I posted recently exploring deadlines under the Right-to-Know Law.
Deadlines. Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law (#RTKL) has many. First, an agency must respond to you within 5 (agency) business days after you submit a request. /1
Next, the agency can take an extension of up to 30 calendar days for its response. (To take an extension, the agency must notify the requester within the original 5 business days.) /2
If an agency fails to respond in 5 business days, or fails to respond on time after taking a 30-day extension, the request is "deemed denied" and can be appealed to @OpenRecordsPA. /3
