Relating to public records.
HB 2533 extends the waiting period for public records exempt due to attorney-client privilege, requiring such records to be at least 50 years old before being available for inspection instead of the current 25-year standard. This change directly affects individuals and organizations seeking public records, particularly those involving legal communications or government attorney work. The bill amends Oregon Revised Statute 192.390 to adjust the age threshold for disclosure of these specific exempt records. It does not alter other public records access rules or create new exemptions. The proposal is still pending in committee as of June 2025.
