Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Delays allowed in cyberattacks and emergencies
An agency may take extra time when a cyberattack blocks access to its electronic servers that hold the requested records. This lasts only while access is down, and it does not apply to records stored elsewhere or in paper or other nonelectronic formats. A Governor-declared state of emergency under Section 8625 can also justify an extension when staffing shortages or closed facilities directly prevent a timely response. But that emergency rule does not apply to requests for records created during and about the same emergency.
Quicker records decisions, short extensions
Agencies must decide within 10 days if your request asks for public records they have. They must tell you the decision, the reasons, and, if releasing records, the estimated date and time they will be ready. In unusual cases, the agency head or a designee can extend the 10-day decision. They must send you a written notice with the reasons and the expected date. The notice cannot extend the deadline more than 14 days past the original 10 days.
