This request is also made pursuant to Article I, section 3(b) of the California Constitution, which provides a constitutional right of access to information concerning the conduct of government.

Code § 6253(a). Therefore, the 10-day response period applicable to a “request for a copy of records” under Section 6253(c) does not apply to this request.
