Ohio Governor Bob Taft yesterday signed a bill reported to be an effort “designed to better arms citizens in enforcing their right to access public records.” (Article)
Taking effect in late March, the law revises a number of aspects of public record law in Ohio, including requiring the Attorney General’s Office to develop and require “all public offices a model public records policy for responding to public records requests,” and requiring that “all elected officials or their designees attend training programs & seminars about public record laws.”
