The Oklahoma Open Meeting Act (OMA) and the Open Records Act (ORA) help make the work of the state transparent. The purpose of the two acts is to ensure and facilitate the public's right of access public body meetings and access to government records.

Read the Open Records Act.

WE CAN PROCESS REQUESTS PERTAINING ONLY TO RECORDS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. IF YOU SEEK RECORDS FROM ANOTHER AGENCY, PLEASE DIRECT THE REQUEST TO THAT SPECIFIC AGENCY. 

Questions or concerns regarding open records should be directed to openrecordsrequest@oag.ok.gov. 

To protect OAG’s and the State’s IT systems, OAG does not accept flash drives from requesters. 

^{* Hourly rates will be billed per quarter-hour.}
A minimum search fee of $55.00 will be charged for any request that OAG deems to be commercial or is so large it would clearly cause excessive disruption of OAG’s essential functions. In such circumstances, OAG must receive the minimum search fee prior to initiating the search.

^{* Hourly rates will be billed per quarter-hour.}
Prior to charging a legal review and redaction fee, OAG will advise requester with an estimate of time and total fee.

NOTE: All items subject to sales tax unless requester provides proof of tax-exempt status under federal or state law. Items mailed will also be subject to postage and shipping costs.

The Public Access Counselor position was created in March 2023 when Attorney General Gentner Drummond appointed former State Sen. Anthony Sykes to the position. It is the goal of the Public Access Counselor to ensure that public bodies in Oklahoma comply with Oklahoma’s Open Meetings and Open Records Acts and is part of General Drummond’s commitment to increasing transparency in Oklahoma. Individuals who believe that a public body is failing to comply with Oklahoma’s Open Meetings or Open Records Act may contact the Office of Attorney General at opengov@oag.ok.gov.
