The Open Records Task Force was
created by
House Joint Resolution 90 in 2005. This resolution called for
the reform of the laws governing access to public records in
Alabama. The task force shall report its findings, conclusions, and
recommendations for proposed reform legislation to the Legislature
not later than the fifteenth legislative day of the 2007 Regular
Session.
Access to public government
records is one of the most important issues underlying the trust
that citizens have in their government. As the subcommittee
chairman for procedures on the Open Records Task Force,
Representative Ward has pledged to hold a series of public hearings
to make sure the resulting legislation is one that balances privacy
and the right to access public information.
Notice of the meetings
held by the Open Records Task Force are posted on the Secretary
of State’s web site.
Below are links to the
meetings that have been held on open records access so far. If
you would like to contribute any information to me regarding
this issue please feel free to submit your comments to me at
