REGISTRATION NOW OPEN - Right-to-Know Law: Meetings and Governmental Records Virtual Workshop

Wednesday, May 6, 2020 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm

RIGHT-TO-KNOW LAW:  MEETINGS AND GOVERNMENTAL RECORDS VIRTUAL WORKSHOP

Cost:  $40.00

Join Legal Services Counsel Stephen Buckley and Municipal Services Counsel Natch Greyes who will discuss the requirements for holding a proper public meeting, as well the exceptions to the meeting requirement (the so-called "non-meeting"), in light of the Covid-19 epidemic.

The attorneys will also provide guidance on handling governmental record matters arising under the Right-to-Know Law. Handling governmental records requests requires an understanding of all aspects of request processing including: the requirements for availability, storage, electronic records, redaction, cost estimates, mandated access for certain records and appointments for review of records. This virtual workshop will also address what records are exempt from disclosure, along with whether a record request that would require a search for multiple documents must be fulfilled or whether a request impermissibly seeks to create a record that does not exist.

In addition, guidance will be provided on the retention of governmental records and how claims under the Right-to-Know Law are enforced.
