The Oregon form of government requires an informed public aware of the deliberations and decisions of governing bodies and the information upon which such decisions were made. It is the intent of ORS 192.610 to 192.705 that decisions of governing bodies be arrived at openly.

Applied in 17 court decisions — leading case 96 Or. App. 19 - Harris v. Nordquist (1989)
Most recently applied in City of Portland v. Bartlett (April 2022)
1973 c.172 §1
