WA AG提议加快公共记录回复时间,引发关于可行性的辩论。 WA AG proposes faster public records response times, sparking debate over feasibility.

华盛顿总检察长Nick Brown提出了新的不具约束力的准则,以加快对公共记录的答复,敦促各机构在5个工作日内发出简单请求,并提高第三方通知的门槛。 Washington Attorney General Nick Brown has proposed new nonbinding guidelines to speed up public records responses, urging agencies to release simple requests within five business days and raising the bar for third-party notices. 请求量增加和重要记录延误引发了这些变化,其目的是在对积压的批评中提高透明度。 The changes, prompted by rising request volumes and delays in critical records, aim to improve transparency amid criticism of backlogs. 虽然开放的政府倡导者支持这一举动,但地方官员警告说,规则可能会造成无法操作的负担,并依靠模糊的标准,而敦促采取立法行动。 While open government advocates support the move, local officials warn the rules may impose unworkable burdens and rely on vague standards, urging legislative action instead. 公众的反馈定于11月17日前提交。 Public feedback is due by November 17.
