SCHOOL SAFTEY, AND WHAT ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS USING THOSE FUNDS WHERE ELSE MYBE BEING SPENT WHAT WAS EARMARKED FOR AB 2246 2015-2016 ?? WHO IN CALIF STATE CAPITAL CAN ANSWER THIS VERY CRITCAL QUESTION ITS TIME TO BECOME A RESPONSIBLIE GOVERNMENT IN SACRAMENTO CAPILTAL MENTAL ILLNESS IS REAL CURENT LEGISLATION IN MY OPINION HASN'T COME CLOSE TO THE KEY ISSUES. The public may inspect or obtain a copy of identifiable public records.' Writings held by state or local government are public records.' A writing includes all forms of recorded information that currently exist or that may exist in the future.' The essence of the CPRA is to provide access to information, not merely documents and files.10 However, it is not enough to provide extracted information to the requestor, the document containing the information must be provided. In order to invoke the CPRA, the request for records must be both specific and focused. The requirement _of_ clarity - must- be- tempered --by the- reality--that--a requester, having no access to agency files or their scheme of organization, may be unable to precisely identify the documents sought. Thus, writings may be described by their content." To the extent reasonable, agencies are generally required to assist members of the public in making focused and effective requests for identifiable records.12 One legislatively -approved method of 'providing assistance is to snake available an index of the agency's records.13 A request for records may be made orally or in writing.14 When an oral request is received, the agency may wish to consider confirming the request in writing in order to eliminate any confusion regarding the request. 3 THIS BILL IN CONGRESS 1 WAS TOLD BY STAFF.
