Public offices can redact or withhold records but must follow certain steps when doing so. It is important that public offices understand these obligations, as well as all obligations under the Public Records Act, to avoid litigation and remedies that may be imposed. Public offices are also required to organize and maintain public records and must follow a good records management program.
