Open Meeting Law Complaint Form

How We Investigate Complaints

The Attorney General’s Office (the “Office”) is authorized by statute to investigate and resolve allegations
that public bodies have violated the Open Meeting Law. The statute requires that complaints submitted
to the Office be in writing and signed. We do not act on anonymous complaints. Complaints and supporting
materials are public records and may be disclosed as required by law. Upon receipt of the complaint, the
case is assigned to a member of the Open Meeting Law Enforcement Team (“OMLET”). The OMLET
member will review the complaint and may contact the public body and other witnesses for a response to
your allegations and any other relevant evidence. If necessary, the OMLET member will contact you to
obtain further information. In order to expedite the process, please consolidate your complaints as much as
possible.

How We Resolve Complaints

After gathering the relevant evidence, the OMLET member will work with the public body to reach a
resolution of the case. The Office’s primary mission in enforcing the Open Meeting Law is to ensure
compliance and educate the public and public officials about the requirements of the statute. Most cases
are resolved with mandatory training and a term of monitoring in which an independent attorney ensures
that the public body is complying with the Open Meeting Law. In serious cases, the OMLET member may
seek a civil penalty of $500 per incident. If the public body refuses to reach an agreed resolution, the
OMLET member may file suit in superior court seeking that the appropriate remedies be imposed by court
order. If the evidence establishes that a public officer violated the Open Meeting Law with the intent to
deprive the public of information, the OMLET member may seek to have the officer removed from office.

How You Can Help Us

To expedite an investigation as much as possible, please provide as much specific information as you
can about the alleged violations, such as the dates and times of events, the people present, and the content
of any conversations; this should include the name and contact information for other witnesses who are
willing to provide evidence about the alleged violations. Also, please include any documents, photographs,
videos, or other evidence that support your allegations.

If you are one of a group of people interested in filing a complaint against a public body, please select

one person to file a complaint and attach written statements from the remaining complainants.
