HB1746 mandates public access to taxpayer-funded investigations, with limited redactions for privacy.

HB1746 requires that investigations funded by taxpayers be accessible to the public, with only narrow redactions for privacy concerns. The bill emphasizes that publicly funded investigations belong to the public and that secrecy undermines accountability. It allows redactions only where strictly required by law, ensuring that findings, conclusions, and recommendations remain largely accessible. The act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
