Attention Ohio Readers

An important piece of legislation has been introduced in the Ohio House or Representatives, 126th General Assembly. House Bill 9 revises Ohio's Public Records laws to clarify the requirements of each public employee to be trained on their responsiblity with regards to the public records law and penalize any public office failing to comply with the law.

I have personally experienced innapropriate denial of public records requests and this bill will fix many of the problems. It is important that your representative knows that we support the passage of this bill.

What can you do?
1. Please lookup the contact information for your representative here.
2. Write a letter or e-mail to communicate your support
3. Be sure to reference 126th House Bill 9 (i.e. 126 HB 9)
4. Be sure to address your representative as "Honorable Mr. John Doe"
5. Please tell your friends.

Thank you for your support!
