HB 336 House of Delegates; members office expense allowance subject to Freedom of Information Act.

Introduced by: Albert C. Pollard, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

House of Delegates; office allowance subject to Freedom of Information Act. Provides explicitly that any record pertaining to the use of funds from the office allowance provided to members of the House of Delegates be opened to public inspection and copying under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOIA currently provides that nothing in the Act shall be construed to deny access to "records of allowances or reimbursements for expenses paid to any officer, official or employee of a public body." However, it is not clear whether the office allowance records of members are subject to disclosure under FOIA because current law does not require a separate record accounting for the use of these funds.
