Public Records Law and State Legislatures
To help increase transparency and public awareness of government decision-making, all 50 states have enacted laws that require certain government records to be open to the public. At the same time, some records are exempt from public access and disclosure, such as information related to physical or digital security, sensitive personal information and records that are restricted by federal law.
The link below contains a table that provides links to state public records statutes and what exemptions apply to legislatures and legislators.
