Webinar Overview

Since the Public Records Act (PRA) was adopted by Washington voters in 1972, the state legislature has amended the statute and other records statutes many times, especially in the last several years. Public records practitioners must stay on top of these statutory changes to remain in compliance with the law, particularly in the face of significant technological advances that have considerably changed the number, size, and complexity of the records that local governments across Washington must manage and disclose.

Educational Objectives

This webinar will discuss the most significant public records bills passed during the 2026 state legislative session and other PRA legal trends. Time will also be set aside for a general question and answer session with the presenters. 

Presenters

• Michael Nigrey, Washington State Attorney General’s Office (AGO).
• Sarah Doar, Legal Consultant, MRSC.
