The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §50-18-70 through 50-18-77, was created through a strong public policy that favors open government. An open and transparent government to the public is essential in a free, open, and democratic society. The District Attorney’s Office of Rockdale Judicial Circuit is a public governmental office subject to the Georgia Open Records Act.
Anyone can request information on any public record our office has custody and control of. However, O.C.G.A. §50-18-72 lists certain information that is exempt from disclosure. By Georgia law, there is a fee for the search, retrieval, review, and production of records. Once an open records request is received, the Rockdale County District Attorney’s Office, as a government agency, has three business days to respond unless the records are unavailable during that time frame. If you seek an open records request, complete the attached PDF using the link below and return it in person or by mail to 922 Court Street, Suite 201, Conyers, GA 30012.
