Summary Description
Since the PRA was adopted by Washington voters in 1972, significant technological advances have considerably changed the number, size, and complexity of the records that local governments across Washington must manage. This had led to an increased investment of time and resources in managing records and fulfilling records requests, so much so that in 2015, local governments across the state spent more than $60 million fulfilling public records requests. This webinar will help you learn more about the most significant, proposed public records bills being considered in the legislature.
In partnership with WAPRO, MRSC is pleased to host Nancy Krier, the Washington Attorney General’s Office Open Government Assistant Attorney General, to provide this important update.
