Local and state governments fall under local laws which may be called Sunshine Laws, Open Records Laws, Public Records Laws or Public Records Acts.
Social Media is considered a part of the public record in all 50 states, meaning it is subject to open records requests no matter where the agency is located.
Agencies and public entities should retain records for at least seven years (or their state’s minimum retention requirement).
All school organizations, systems, government bodies, and law enforcement or emergency response teams must comply with open records laws.
