Disposition letters arise out of the Attorney General’s express enforcement authority over the Nebraska Public Records Statutes, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 84-712 through 84-712.09 (2014, Cum. Supp. 2022), and the Open Meetings Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 84-1407 through 84-1414 (2014, Cum. Supp. 2022). These letters are written in response to a discrete set of facts and circumstances presented in petitions and complaints filed under those statutes. Disposition letters in no way constitute an opinion of the Attorney General.
