Public Records Requests

Public Records Request applies to all requests for documents made pursuant to provisions of the Public Records Act (PRA) found in Section 7920.00 et. seq. of the California Government Code. The PRA requires disclosure of public records unless those records are exempt from disclosure or it is determined that the public interest in non-disclosure significantly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
