Montana’s Open Meetings Law promises its residents the ability to look for, acquire, and utilize records held by authorities, including arrest records, court case records, marriage and divorce licenses, and records of traffic infractions, and this legal right includes the citizens of Amsterdam. This statute, itself in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act at the country wide level, supplies Amsterdam citizens with information associated with cases of governmental involvement, such as the names and addresses of those involved, the activities leading up an incidence, effects and sentences handed down, and much more. Residents of Amsterdam are able to better realize their rights because of these laws, and the transparency available from the release of these records maintains both criminals and legislators culpable for their actions, consequently resulting in a more open and free society for everybody.
