We guide municipalities, school boards, zoning hearing boards and other governmental agencies in all areas related to compliance with the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law and Sunshine Act.
We work with municipalities, school boards and agencies to ensure that their regulations and Right to Know Officers are up to date in the latest changes in the law and Office of Open Records’ rulings. To accomplish this, the attorneys of High Swartz provide:
The attorneys of High Swartz also work with private clients who require assistance with Right to Know Requests from municipal and state agencies. They guide their clients in the proper requests and the proper procedure for requesting the records which will meet their specific needs.
Requests can be made not only from Townships and Boroughs, but from most public county and state agencies and departments. High Swartz attorneys guide clients through the procedures for filing requests with the proper agencies.
Also referred to as the Open Meeting act, the Sunshine act requires that all official actions and deliberations of
municipal governing bodies held for the purpose of making a decision take place at meetings that are open to the public. This openness keeps residents more informed and allows for increased public confidence in PA governing bodies.
