episode Washington Speeds Up Public Records | Seattle News cover

Beskrivelse

Washington’s Attorney General is pushing for faster public records access, targeting the 2,000+ state agencies bogged down by delays that have ballooned from 15 to 24 days since 2019—and ballooning costs exceeding $128 million. New guidelines aim to triage requests, prioritizing simple, single-document asks for a five-day turnaround, while tackling the backlog of complex requests. The push, driven by journalists and transparency advocates since 2024, also mandates moving personal-device-stored records to official systems within five days. Critics worry about legal risks, the five-day window’s leniency, and local government strain—but with a new chief transparency counsel on board, final rules are targeted for summer.
