Oregon Sunshine Committee
Oregon Sunshine Committee Meeting, January 31, 2018
In 2017, with the input of the Attorney General’s Public Records Law Reform Task Force, the Oregon legislature passed the most significant improvements to public records access since our law was first enacted. One of those new laws, HB 2101, created the Oregon Sunshine Committee. Its primary task involves reviewing the hundreds of exemptions that can keep government information out of public hands, with the goal of creating a more transparent government.
