Ohio

Public records software that already knows Ohio's law.

Brandeis ships with a statute profile for the Ohio Public Records Act — the response clock, extension rules, exemption citations, and appeal language your AI agents and your staff work from on day one. The law is configuration, not a professional-services project.

10
business days — working target
Ohio's statute requires a prompt response rather than a fixed count — so every request is tracked against a target, and the law's own words ride the requester's tracker.
✓
prompt-response statute
No fixed clock to extend — delay itself is the compliance risk, so the nightly sweep watches every request's age.
4
seeded exemption citations
The exemption agent flags passages with Ohio's own sections.
1
nightly deadline sweep
An agent watches every open request's clock, every night.
Exemptions, cited not vibed

The agents quote Ohio, chapter and verse.

When an AI agent flags a passage for exemption, the flag carries the citation — and a named staffer confirms or dismisses every one. The starter profile seeds the most-cited sections:

R.C. 149.43(A)(1)(h)

Confidential law enforcement investigatory records

R.C. 149.43(A)(1)(g)

Trial preparation records

R.C. 149.43(A)(1)(a)

Medical records

R.C. 149.43(A)(1)(v)

Records prohibited from release by state or federal law

If a denial is appealed: File a public-records mandamus action, or the expedited complaint in the Court of Claims (R.C. 2743.75). Appeal packets are assembled straight from the audit log.

Reviewed, then live

Starter profile, finished with your counsel.

Public-records statutes are nuanced. The Ohio profile ships as a reviewed starting point — day counts, sections, and appeal language your counsel confirms and tunes per agency before go-live. It is configuration to verify, never legal advice.
