Scott Walker issues order making it easier to find state public records
Gov. Scott Walker on Thursday issued an executive order making it easier for the public to find state government notices and meeting minutes.
Walker in his order also asked state agencies to post the most commonly requested documents online to be readily available to the public, and to post how quickly their officials respond to records requests under the state’s open records law.
The order comes ahead of Sunshine Week, a national celebration of open government that begins Sunday.
Walker’s order requires the Department of Administration to improve the state’s public notice website by requiring all state government public notices and meeting minutes to be uploaded to the site.
