AN ACT REQUIRING PUBLIC AGENCY EMPLOYEES TO ATTEND FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT TRAINING.

This bill requires employees of public agencies to complete training on the state's Freedom of Information Act. It mandates that the Freedom of Information Commission hold annual training sessions, which can be offered in person or through digital recordings. Employees already working on October 1, 2026, must finish the training by March 1, 2027, while new hires must complete it within six months of starting their jobs. The law aims to ensure public agency staff understand their responsibilities regarding public records requests and related statutes.
