cbs5.com has an article on AB 1393, AB 1648, and AB 1668, all introduced by Assemblymember Leno (D – 13, San Francisco).
To summarize, AB 1393 would allow public records requests via state agency web sites. AB 1648 would require police commissions to conduct their hearings in public, reversing an Aug. 29 California Supreme Court decision and allowing the public access to an officer’s discipline records. And, the bill around which this web site is geared, AB 1668, would allow greater public access to documents created by state agencies by requiring open file formats for all electronic government documents.
Taken in aggregate, these 3 bring about substantial reform to California state government. Contact your Assemblymember today and tell them you demand the passage of all 3!
