• 2026 Ohio 1156

Syllabus

Motion to dismiss mandamus petition for failure to comply with statutory requirements of the Public Records Act denied. The relevant statutory requirements were added to the Public Records Act by legislative amendment. The amendment had not gone into effect when relator made his public records request but had become effective by the time relator filed his mandamus claim. Consistent with Supreme Court of Ohio precedent holding that public records requests are governed by the version of the Public Records Act in effect at the time the request was made, petition is not subject to dismissal for failure to comply with statutory amendments that went into effect after relator made his public records request.
