National Lawyers Guild v. City of Hayward (S252445)
CSAC has filed an amicus brief in a case pending in the California Supreme Court that will address the following issue: Does the California Public Records Act permit a public agency to shift the cost of redacting exempt information from electronic records to the party making the request for the records although the cost of redaction cannot be required for paper records? CSAC’s brief argues that local agencies are permitted by statute to recoup such cost, and provides some context to the resources required to comply with electronic records redactions.
