California Public Records Act (CPRA) for Risk Managers
What does California Public Records Act (CPRA) require of a Risk Manager?
California Public Records Act (CPRA) gives every person a right to inspect and copy California state and local agency records, subject to specific exemptions, with duplication cost limits, a 10-day/14-day determination timeline, a duty to assist requesters, electronic-records rules, a critical-incident video/audio recording disclosure regime, and judicial enforcement by writ of mandate.
