How Residents Can Make City Hall Sunshine Law Compliant

www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov wrote:To assist and educate members of the public in understanding and accessing Ohio’s Sunshine Laws, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office has developed several informational videos on the topics about which we frequently receive questions, including:

• How to apply the Confidential Law Enforcement Investigatory Records exemption;
• Determining when a public body may enter into executive session for the purpose of consulting with its legal counsel;
• Determining when a public body may enter into executive session for the purpose of discussing personnel matters;
• How to make a public records request;
• Who is a “public body” subject to the Open Meetings Act and what obligations does the Act imposes upon a public body?;
• What is a “public office” and what is a “public record” under the Public Records Act?
• What remedies exist under Ohio’s Sunshine Laws?

These videos are a supplement to the office’s Sunshine Laws Manual, which can help answer additional questions about the Sunshine Laws.
