2024 Survey of Agency Open Records Officers

This past summer, the OOR conducted a survey of 917 Agency Open Records Officers (AOROs) across the Commonwealth and followed up with longer one-on-one interviews with 30 AOROs.
The survey report is now available: OOR 2024 Survey Report
The survey and interviews included questions about the following:

  • Hours worked, frequency of attorney consultation on requests
  • Opinions regarding legislation on “vexatious” and commercial requesters
  • Concerns about the Right-to-Know Law

The OOR’s two summer interns of 2024, Ethan Lown and Kaitlyn Ponessa, spearheaded this project.
