California AB370 amends the California Public Records Act to allow for extended response times to public records requests during cyberattacks.

California AB370 amends the California Public Records Act by expanding the definition of "unusual circumstances" to include the inability of an agency to access its electronic servers or systems due to a cyberattack. This allows for an extension of up to 14 days for agencies to respond to public records requests during such events. The extension applies only until the agency can access its servers and search for the requested records. The bill also clarifies that the extended time does not apply to records created during a state of emergency.
