Bill	California Public Records Act: cyberattacks.	The California Public Records Act requires state and local agencies to make their records available for public inspection, except as specified. Existing law requires each agency, within 10 days of a request for a copy of records, to determine whether the request seeks copies of disclosable public records in possession of the agency and to promptly notify the person of the determination and the reasons therefor. Existing law authorizes that time limit to be extended by no more than 14 days under unusual circumstances, and defines "unusual circumstances" to include, among other things, the need to search for, collect, and appropriately examine records during a state of emergency when the state of emergency currently affects the agency's ability to timely respond to requests due to staffing shortages or closure of facilities, as provided.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20252026	AB 370	California AB 370 (20252026)	bill	CaliforniaPublicRecordsAct cyberattacks	enacted	Carrillo	5	19	5	2025-02-03	2025-07-14	openstates	ocd-bill/fd9ef500-edfe-44fa-9e2b-129b84e16e5f	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB370	c6dcad93edfc5e1b9d07c1e6099ed95ab74550b808e5f0e5d7ab47dc37c1746d	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
