RTKL Training for Requesters - Webinar

The Office of Open Records (OOR) was created in 2008 by Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law (RTKL). The objective of the RTKL is to empower citizens by affording them access to information concerning the activities of their government.As an independent, quasi-judicial agency, the OOR is authorized to hear and decide appeals from requesters who have been denied access to records by state and local agencies. The OOR also provides training on the RTKL and Pennsylvania’s Sunshine Act.

This webinar will focus on Right-to-Know Law issues of importance to requesters.
Topics to be covered include how to write a good RTKL request, accessing information in databases, significant deadlines in the RTKL, how to appeal a RTKL denial, and more. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers.
NOTE: This training is most appropriate for interested residents and members of the media. It will be of limited value to AOROs and agency solicitors.
