Dear Mr. Quast:

You ask this office to reconsider Open Records Letter No. 2000-4572 (2000). Your request was assigned ID# 144561.

The Seventy-sixth Legislature amended section 552.301 of the Public Information Act (the "act") to provide that a governmental body is prohibited from asking for a reconsideration of the attorney general's decision. Gov't Code § 552.301(f). Although the governmental body has not asked us to reconsider the decision in this instance, we similarly decline your request to reconsider Open Records Letter No. 2000-4572.

If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact our Open Government Hotline at (877) 673-6839.

Sincerely,

Yen-Ha Le
Assistant Attorney General
Open Records Division
