AG Andrea Joy Campbell has released an annual report highlighting the activities of her office’s Division of Open Government, which is responsible for enforcing the Commonwealth’s Open Meeting Law (OML). As it has done since 2010, the Division worked to ensure that public bodies conducted business transparently in 2024. According to the report, in 2024, the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) received 364 OML complaints for review. The Division issued a record 262 determination letters resolving 347 separate complaints. The Division also issued letters declining review of 58 complaints, most commonly because the concerns raised in the complaints did not implicate the Open Meeting Law. In total, the Division resolved 405 separate complaints. As a result of the record number of determinations issued in 2024, the Division’s pending complaint volume was reduced to a level not seen in many years.
