With a unanimous vote, the state Senate approved a measure to strengthen the state’s 51-year-old open records law.
Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware County, the bill’s sponsor, said, “Pennsylvania needs a stronger open records law because transparency builds trust in government.”
The measure now goes to the House for consideration. Pileggi was “cautiously optimistic” the bill could be delivered to Gov. Ed Rendell’s desk by the week’s end. Rendell has pledged to sign it into law.
