[edit] Bill would require attorneys fees after public record lawsuit wins

"Four state House members have introduced a bill that would require judges to award attorneys fees to plaintiffs who prevail in many public records cases.

The bill, sponsored by Reps. Deborah Ross, D-Wake; William Wainwright, D-Craven; Winkie Wilkins, D-Person; and Margaret Dickson, D-Cumberland, would also set up an open government unit within the attorney general's office to educate the public and government agencies of their rights and responsibilities under the state's public records and open meetings laws."
