California Public Records Act (CPRA)
The California Public Records Act (CPRA) was passed by the California Legislature in 1968 for government agencies and requires that government records be disclosed to the public upon request unless there are privacy and/or public safety exemptions that would prevent doing so. Please see the California Attorney General’s Office Summary of the California Public Records Act (pdf) for additional information.
