Most public records are subject to disclosure, but there are exemptions. Records related to an active criminal investigation are exempt from disclosure until the case is resolved. Confidential communications between government officials and government lawyers are also exempt from disclosure.

Employee/Official Personal Information Personal information in files maintained for employees, appointees, or elected officials of any public agency to the extent that disclosure would violate their right to privacy is exempt (RCW 42.56. 230(3)).

?Public Records Request Information Oregon Revised Statutes 192.314 (1) provides that ?Every person has a right to inspect any public record of a public body in this state, except as otherwise expressly provided by ORS 192.338, 192.345 and 192.355.?

On its face, Oregon's public records law sounds simple. It applies to all government records and writings. The public body must consider each request for records on a case-by-case basis. The law favors disclosure as the rule, and agencies have the burden of proving an exemption allows them to withhold information.

Under Oregon's Public Records Law, ?every person? has a right to inspect any nonexempt public record of a public body in Oregon. [1] This right extends to any natural person, any corporation, partnership, firm or association, and any member or committee of the Legislative Assembly.

The Oregon Revised Statutes are the codified laws of the State of Oregon. The ORS is published every two years. Each edition incorporates all laws, and changes to laws, enacted by the Legislative Assembly through the odd-numbered year regular session referenced in the volume titles for that edition.
