Summary

Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2002 - Amends the Presidential Records Act to require the Archivist of the United States, when making available any Presidential record not previously made available publicly, to: (1) promptly provide written notice of such determination to the former President during whose term of office the record was created and the incumbent President; and (2) make the notice available to the public. Requires such a record to be made available upon the expiration of 20 days, except any record with respect to which the Archivist receives a specified written claim of constitutionally based privilege against disclosure from a former President or the incumbent President. Requires the provision of a copy of each such claim to: (1) the person seeking such record; (2) each chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Government Reform of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate; and (3) any member of the public, upon request. Sets forth requirements regarding the release of a Presidential record that is subject to a privilege claim.
