New Open Records Law

Pennsylvania has a new open-records law which greatly expands public access to a wide array of government records. Although the new law went into effect on January 1, 2009, records from previous years are available as of that date.

The law provides that requests be made in writing. Please click here for the necessary form, which can be mailed, faxed, or dropped off at the Township Building. Or, you may save the form and attach it to an e-mail directed to openrecords@pocopson.org. Please be advised that the Township has up to five days to fill requests.

Thank you
