Summary

After gutting the open records bill, the House added insult to injury by passing a bill that would keep secret, until the conclusion of grand jury proceedings, names of police officers involved in fatal shootings of civilians. The bill, designed to overturn a 2007 ACLU court victory, died in the Senate.
