Trainer ties APRA and federal law to records exemptions and accessibility obligations
Summary
Roach explained how APRA intersects with federal statutes that render some records nonpublic and reminded attendees that the ADA requires accessible meeting locations.
Roach described APRA as "kinda like a corollary" to the OMA for public records and said there are more federal statutes that can render records nonpublic under APRA's exceptions. He advised using keyword-searchable findings on the AG office website to locate prior determinations.
He also reminded the group that the Americans with Disabilities Act requires meeting locations to be accessible and pointed attendees to office resources for guidance on both records disclosure and physical-access obligations.
