3. Criminal
Investigative Records Subcommittee
The
Criminal Investigative Records Subcommittee was first appointed
in 2010 to study SB 711 (Edwards), which was referred to the
Council by the 2010 Session of the General Assembly for study.
The Subcommittee was then reappointed to study SB 1467 (Edwards),
which was referred to the Council by the 2011 Session of the
General Assembly for study. Both SB 1467 and SB 711 would
limit the exemption for criminal investigative or prosecution
records to those investigations or prosecutions that are ongoing.
As a result, criminal investigative and prosecution records
would be open to the public after the ongoing criminal investigation
or prosecution has become final or has been otherwise terminated.
In 2011 the Subcommittee directed staff and stakeholders to
continue studying the various issues relating to access to
criminal investigative records. That work continues into 2012.
The Subcommittee consists of Council members John Selph (Chair),
Sandra Treadway, and James Schliessmann.
Meetings Scheduled:
