PA Right to Know Law Information – PA_Right-To-Know_Law.pdf

The Township is not required to and will not compile lists, prepare summaries, or create documents that do not exist. The Township will provide access to and duplication of existing Township records which are public records under the Right to Know Law. Please verify before calling that you are contacting the correct Township (there are several municipalities in Pennsylvania that have “Elizabeth” in their name) AND that the items requested would reasonably be expected to be at a Township versus the County, the Commonwealth, or at the federal level…otherwise, your request will simply be denied.

If you need to file an appeal regarding a RTKL request, please see the PA OOR (Office of Open Records):
