CORA is the law allowing the public to access government records. For
example, in wage-theft cases, digital information from the Colorado
Department of Labor where a violation is found is available to the public
under CORA, and may establish a pattern of employer abuse. The most
substantial change is now electronically stored information must be made
available to the public in the format in which it was created, referred to
as “native” format, where hidden data or “metadata” resides.

Examples of commonly created native files include: Microsoft Word (.doc,
.docx), Excel (.xls, xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt, pptx) and Outlook (pst, ost,
msg). In some cases, native file formats require software tools
(e-Discovery) to process and convert all metadata to become fully
searchable. Before this amendment, records could be produced in any format
the agency wanted, often non-searchable or sortable, such as paper hard
copy.
