Right-to-Know Law • Sufficiently Specific Request
Pa. Office of Inspector Gen. v. Brown, PICS Case No. 17-0010 (Pa. Commw. Dec. 21, 2016) McCullough, J. (9 pages).
Office of Open Records erred in granting requester’s appeal as to his Right-to-Know Law request to the Office of Inspector General for rules, regulations, policies or related authority that governed its duties and functions because the request was not sufficiently specific to advise OIG of what records were being requested and did not identify the OIG transaction or activity for which the record was sought and failed to provide any context by which OIG could narrow the search. Reversed.
