Records held by private contractors working for the government are available to the public under a public record law, the Georgia Supreme Court has ruled.
“Nothing in the plain language of [the Open Records Act] or any other provision of the Open Records Act dictates that only agencies ... can receive requests for public records and/or are obligated to produce public records or otherwise make such records available for review,” Georgia Supreme Court Justice Shawn Ellen LaGrua wrote in the unanimous decision.
