Statute overview

About this statute

This Act gives people a right to request access to records held by Yukon public bodies and sets rules for handling personal information. The records manager and public body must give applicants required notice about request extensions and access decisions, and public bodies may or must withhold records in several listed exemption categories. Public bodies must carefully limit, protect, and manage personal information, and must give notices and disclosures in specified situations. The commissioner also has oversight and certain powers. This part sets review, appeal, reporting, and enforcement rules for access-to-information matters, including deadlines, commissioner powers, and penalties. The Minister must make a comprehensive review of this Act at least every six years and report the review to the Legislative Assembly within one year after the review starts.
