A search of the Pennsylvania Legislative Services archive shows that going back to the 2001-2002 session, at least one bill, if not multiple versions, to expand access has been floated each session. The restriction to the State Police has been in place since the 1960s.

Pennsylvania government agencies spent $5.7 million to $9.7 million in 2016 on open record requests, according to an estimate from a report from the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee.

The report, issued following a resolution from House Local Government Chair Kate Harper (R-Montgomery), was presented to the committee Wednesday.

A law to make AirBnb and other home sharing platforms register with local governments moved out of committee Thursday.

The bill, HB 1810, would require that the websites share information on every host in the state with both the state Department of Treasury and county treasurers’ offices.
