    I may have misread but it seems the article says the records are qualify as public records and so can be requested by anyone.

    That’s not the same thing as public domain, unless I’m mistaken.

      Yes, it’s different.

      Public records can be public domain. Public domain works can be requested with a public record request. Not all public record requests will result in public domain licensed documents being released.
