Download Right to Know Request Form

The new Right to Know Law is effective January 1, 2009.  The new law in its entirety can be found on the
Pennsylvania Office of Open Records website, http://openrecords.state.pa.us  

Requests may be made in writing, by fax or e-mail.  A request should describe or identify the records sought
with enough specificity to enable the Open Records Officer to ascertain which records are being requested.

The cost for copies is twenty five cents ($0.25) per page.  A requester may be requested to prepay if the
cost of the fees to fulfill the request exceed or are expected to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00).
