Notice: In March, NFOIC and the Brechner Center issued a statement calling out state, tribal and local public institutions that passed measures to suspend their jurisdiction’s open government laws concerning public and press access to meetings and records as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. More than 145 organizations have signed that statement.
