Right to Know Information

Governor Edward G. Rendell signed the new Right to Know law on February 14, 2008, fundamentally changing the way people access public records of their government and the way the government processes those requests.  The new law created the Office of Open Records to help implement and enforce Act 3 of 2008.  A significant role of the Office of Open Records is to provide guidance for the new law, which fully takes effect January 1, 2009.  You can visit the Office of Open Records by clicking on the following link: Office of Open Records

  • The law requires that each Agency appoint a Right-to-Know Officer (RTK Officer).   The RTK Officer has four tasks required by law:

    • Receive requests submitted to the agency

    • Direct requests to other appropriate persons within the agency or to appropriate persons in another agency

    • Track the agency’s progress in responding to requests

    • Issue interim and final responses under this act
