The JLARC Public Records reporting system is now open for 2018 reporting
RCW 40.14.026 requires local governments with public records costs that exceed $100,000 to report to the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC) through an online reporting system on a variety of performance metrics. JLARC encourages local governments that aren’t required to report to log into the reporting system to confirm that your agency did not meet the $100,000 reporting threshold. Reporting will close on August 1, 2019.
