The irony of the DOJ arguing a president isn’t required to turn over official records in the middle of war, cover-ups, and an administration filled with loyalist yes‑men is that it practically reads like an admission of wrongdoing! #Transparency #Accountability #PublicRecords #Government #Democracy

Rhode Island Lawmakers Renew Push to Overhaul Public Records Law Rhode Island lawmakers and open government advocates are renewing efforts to overhaul the state's outdated public records law, last substantially updated in 2012. The 15-page bill, sponsored by Rep. Jason Knight, proposes 49 changes including reducing fees for requests, making drafts, traffic data, officials' emails/texts, police body cam footage, and misconduct investigations public, to enhance transparency and accountability despite opposition from state agencies over workload and privacy concerns.

RI lawmakers are pushing to overhaul our public records law. More access to drafts, emails, body cam footage—49 changes in all. Transparency’s great, but will state agencies handle the load? What do you think, Ocean State? #RIPolitics #Transparency #PublicRecords

Judge Refuses to Dismiss Lawsuit Against Brown University Police for Withholding Arrest Records On March 24, 2026, Rhode Island Superior Court Associate Justice Shannon Signore rejected Brown University’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the ACLU of RI on behalf of journalists. The suit challenges whether Brown’s police department must comply with the state’s Access to Public Records Act (APRA) by releasing arrest reports, allowing the case to proceed on its merits.

Big win for transparency in RI! A judge shot down Brown Univ’s bid to dismiss a lawsuit over withheld arrest records. Shouldn’t all police, even campus ones, play by the same public records rules? What’s your take? #RhodeIsland #PublicRecords #Transparency

Committee advances bill to let non‑Tennessee citizens obtain their law‑enforcement records The committee advanced House Bill 19-11 after adopting an amendment; sponsor said the bill would let people who aren’t Tennessee citizens access their own law‑enforcement records, while legal counsel said current Public Records Act requires requesters be Tennessee citizens.

Director: initial broad Summit County request too vague; narrowed request met GRAMA standard Director Pearson found an August 11, 2024 GRAMA request in the Anderson v. Summit County matter was not reasonably specific, but he concluded that a later October 30 narrowed request was reasonably specific and that Summit County conducted a reasonable search for that narrower request; in‑camera privileged materials and redactions were upheld.

A recent ruling revealed that Summit County's expansive records request was deemed too vague, but a more targeted follow-up was found to meet legal standards—could this signify deeper issues of transparency?

Lawmakers urge narrow public‑records carve‑out as they review hospital cybersecurity bill Analysts and the judiciary committee agreed hospitals should be required to adopt cybersecurity plans, audits, penetration tests and tabletop exercises, but committee members asked the HHS committee to narrow the proposed Freedom‑of‑Access Act exception so only genuinely sensitive material (penetration tests, vulnerability scans, tabletop details and audit findings) is confidential.

Maine lawmakers are pushing for hospitals to adopt strict cybersecurity measures following alarming cyber intrusions that crippled health services.
