Comments: The bill would prohibit unsolicited faxes to public bodies. I defer to Beth Forrest on the <br />need for this. My one concern is that it pretty much eliminates faxes as a means to <br />communicate with government, except where the sender has called or e-mailed ahead. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2483 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to task force review of public records laws; declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Establishes task force to study and make recommendations on exemptions from public <br />records and changes to public records laws to ensure consistent criteria and processes are <br />applied in exempting public records from disclosure, in application of public records <br />requirements to social media data and for other purposes. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Introduced and printed pursuant to House Rule 12.00.

It needs a thorough, thoughtful review to adapt the law to <br />the era of electronic records and to reduce the number of exemptions. This task force <br />would be a good way to start. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2500 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to statutes of limitation. <br /> <br />Title: Removes certain statutes of limitation for actions brought by public bodies arising out of <br />construction, alteration or repair of improvement of real property. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Introduced and printed pursuant to House Rule 12.00.
