Montana’s Open Meetings Law ensures its locals the ability to find, acquire, and use records held by government bodies, which includes arrest records, court public records, marriage and divorce licenses, and records of traffic infractions, and this privilege includes the citizens of Pray. This statute, itself based on the Freedom of Information Act at the national level, offers Pray locals with information relating to instances of governmental involvement, including the addresses and names of those involved, the activities leading up an occurrence, outcomes and sentences passed down, and more. Inhabitants of Pray are able to better realize their rights thanks to these laws, and the transparency offered by the release of these records helps to keep both criminals and authorities responsible with regard to their actions, consequently leading to a more open and free society for everybody.
