Rhode Island

Public records software that already knows Rhode Island's law.

Brandeis ships with a statute profile for the Rhode Island Access to Public Records Act (APRA) — 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 to respond
Computed from receipt — weekends, holidays, and day type handled by the deadline math, not a spreadsheet.
+20
business days of extension
Notice required — the drafting agent writes it with the permitted reason cited.
3
seeded exemption citations
The exemption agent flags passages with Rhode Island's own sections.
1
nightly deadline sweep
An agent watches every open request's clock, every night.
Exemptions, cited not vibed

The agents quote Rhode Island, 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.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-2(4)(A)(I)(b)

Personal privacy

R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-2(4)(D)

Law enforcement records

R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-2(4)(B)

Trade secrets and commercial or financial information

If a denial is appealed: Complaint to the Attorney General (R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-8), then superior court. The appeal-packet agent assembles counsel's dossier straight from the audit log.

Reviewed, then live

Starter profile, finished with your counsel.

Public-records statutes are nuanced. The Rhode Island 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.
