[HJ 411] REGULAR CALENDAR
(Committee Reports)
[HJ 450] HB 504, relative to the right to know law. Inexpedient to Legislate.
The current law is very broad and as such in many cases officials within a governmental unit are often placed in a gray area of the law whenever a majority of a board happens to be in one place. The criminal penalties proposed in this bill could lead to harassment of officials in many cases. Vote 13-5. Rep. Shawn N. Jasper for Judiciary.
