Charlie Baker to sign a bill overhauling state's public records law
BOSTON — Gov. Charlie Baker is set to sign a bill aimed at overhauling the state's public records law.
The bill would require public records requests to be completed in 10 days.

The bill also would limit how much an agency or municipality could charge to provide the records.
