Effective October 15, 2020, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has amended the Public Access Policy. Previously, filers were not required to protect confidential information when a statute or rule required it to be included in a filing. Under new amendments, even when applicable authority requires its inclusion, confidential information must be protected.
