Tech firms push, win change in state’s public records law

Inside Tucson Business
PHOENIX — Tucson is already seeing some benefits from a tweak to public records laws designed to spur job growth and high-tech investment by fostering public-private partnerships between state universities and big research companies.
When Sanofi-Aventis, the international pharmaceutical company with a research facility in Oro Valley, wanted to contract with the University of Arizona for some projects, it looked into state laws governing public records and became concerned their research would be subject to university open records laws, which could expose trade secrets.
The company contacted state Rep. Vic Williams, R-Tucson, who drafted a bill (HB 2272) that sailed through the Legislature and was signed into law this month by Gov. Jan Brewer. It included an emergency clause, which means it became effective immediately.
