Public Records Act

The California Public Records Act (PRA), Government Code 6250-6270, is similar to the federal Freedom of Information Act—the purpose of these acts is to give private citizens greater access to government information. With some exceptions, the PRA considers records maintained by most state agencies to be public records, but also recognizes the right to individual privacy.

In accordance with the PRA, the California Science Center, as a state agency, will make its public records available for public inspection according to the procedures specified in the California Science Center’s Guidelines for Access to Public Records.
