Bermuda’s long-awaited Public Access to Information (PATI) Act has been moved onto the Parliamentary schedule for debate today (presumably as a counterweight to the very unpopular municipalities takeover law also being debated).
It is assumed that it will be broadly supported. But the beauty is in the details. The PATI law does not dictate an implementation schedule. It should, particularly given the long amount of time it took us to get this far. The law should be effective within a year … not the 3-5 timeframe we’ve sometimes heard bandied about.
