Are Housing Agency Documents Identifying Child Lead Poisoning Victims 'Public Records' Under Ohio Law?
8th District Court of Appeals (Cuyahoga County)
ISSUE: Does the Ohio Public Records Act require disclosure of forms that are completed by residents of public housing facilities and maintained by the housing agency that: a) provide personal and family information about children who have been diagnosed with elevated levels of lead in their blood; and b) give parental permission for the housing agency to obtain copies of a child’s medical records?
