A bill that would set up an appeals process to resolve disputes over access to government records in South Dakota has been approved 68-1 by the state House.
If an agency denies a request for records, the person seeking those records could have the dispute reviewed by the state Office of Hearing Examiners.
The office could hold a hearing before determining if records should be released or remain closed to the public.
SB186 was approved earlier by the state Senate but must be returned to see if it agrees with some changes made by the House.
