The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday refused to dismiss a lawsuit against Gov. Kim Reynolds that seeks to require her office to respond to public record requests.
The case stems from a 2021 lawsuit filed by the three media organizations and their reporters who claimed the governor had violated Iowa’s open records law by ignoring requests for government records. The reporters had emailed the governor’s office with eight different open-record requests between April 2020 and April 2021 and renewed each request at least once but didn’t receive any response until filing a lawsuit in December 2021.
After the lawsuit, the governor’s office released the records within six days, although some were heavily redacted. The state also argued that by not responding to open records requests, the governor’s office wasn’t actually refusing to respond to those requests. Although the media organization’s case still must try their case in district court, Story said the Iowa Supreme Court’s ruling set an important precedent for open records regulations.
