Pennsylvania SB790 amends the Right-to-Know Law to allow agencies to petition for relief against vexatious requesters.

Pennsylvania SB790 amends the Right-to-Know Law by adding provisions for agencies to petition the Office of Open Records for relief from requesters deemed vexatious. An agency can petition if the requester submits requests solely to harass, annoy, frustrate, or burden the agency. Petitions must be submitted under penalty of unsworn falsification and include a request for a stay if the number of requests exceeds the agency's capacity or if the requester intends to harass the agency.
