The Vermont Public Records Act
Under Vermont’s Public Records Act, 1 V.S.A. §§ 315-320, any person has the right to request inspection or copying of a public record from government agencies, including municipalities. The definition of a “public record” is very broad and includes “any written or recorded information, regardless of physical form or characteristics,” which is produced or acquired in the course of municipal business. 1 V.S.A. § 317(b).
Municipal officials must comply with the act’s legal requirements. MAC developed Public Records Act FAQs and a Model Public Records Policy to help clarify definitions, timelines, how to “promptly” respond as well as where to find important information about exemptions and retention requirements.
Transparency is an essential element of open and democratic government. In Vermont, the primary means of providing transparency are the Public Records Act, 1 V.S.A. §§ 315-320, and the Open Meeting Law, 1 V.S.A. §§ 310-314. These laws implement the command of Chapter I, Article 6 of the Vermont Constitution that officers of government are “trustees and servants” of the people and are “at all times, in a legal way, accountable to them.”

Title 38, Public Records
Chapter 2, Access to Public Records, R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2
The Access to Public Records Act, or APRA, is a state law that gives individuals the right to see and obtain public records. The law provides guidelines for obtaining access to these records, and also defines which records are subject to public inspection and which are exempt.
All state and local governmental agencies are public entities and are subject to APRA. This means that every public body or entity is responsible for maintaining records and documents for public review, inspection and copying. The law also applies to various so-called “quasi-public” agencies. Judicial bodies are subject to APRA only in respect to their administrative functions.
HOW DO I REQUEST PUBLIC RECORDS?
Each agency is required to have procedures for granting access to public records, and so the process may vary slightly from agency to agency. These procedures should be available on the agency’s website and otherwise made available upon request. As a general rule, it is advisable toput your request in writing, although a public
body cannot require written requests for documents that are prepared.
