In 1972, Washington state enacted both the public records law and the open public meeting act to assure citizens of our state transparency and access to government.

The staff of the Office of Public Records and Open Public Meetings oversees the university’s compliance with these two important laws:

· Public Records Act
· Open Public Meeting Act
