Government contractor records subject to RTKL
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the records of a private government contractor performing government functions on behalf of a government agency, in this case a private contractor’s records relating to bids to run the concessions at a county-owned stadium, are subject to disclosure under the Right to Know Law.
The court defined “government function” as any “non-ancillary undertaking of government” — a definition the court acknowledged was vague and would be clarified in future cases.
