Sunshine Week Panel Discussion: Why We Need IPRA (New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act)

St. John's United Methodist Church 1200 Old Pecos Trail, Santa Fe

Sunshine Week celebrates government transparency and the right of voters to be informed. Laws that assure public bodies meet in the open and that public records are available and accessible are collectively known as "Sunshine Laws." This year, we are focusing on New Mexico's Inspection of Public Records Act. The panel will discuss various ways the public uses this law as well as threats it continually faces in the N.M. Legislature.
