In the Government Operations and Elections Committee today, we’re hearing four House Bills.
House Bill 1019 requires agencies to make public records available promptly to any identified person and authorizes agencies to require requestors to identify themselves.
House Bill 1037 does four things … one, it authorizes a public agency to obtain information from a public record requestor to determine whether the request is for a commercial purpose; two, it authorizes an agency to charge a fee to recover the cost of furnishing a public record, including an electronic record, where the request is for a commercial purpose and not otherwise exempted; three, requires an agency to establish an appeals process allowing the requestor to appeal the fee amount or the agency's determination that the request is for a commercial purpose; and four, prohibits an agency from assessing the fee if the requestor is a member of news media, a nonprofit organization, an education institution, or a person or entity otherwise entitled to obtain the requested information.
House Bill 1198 requires the Attorney General to develop and implement training programs for the legal requirements contained in the Open Public Meetings Act, the Public Records Act, and the requirements for preservation and destruction of public records and requires members of governing bodies of public and local agencies, elected officials, and public records officers to complete the training courses.
House Bill 1203 removes specified personal information from list of exempted material in certain files and exempts personal information contained in child care and early learning records from public disclosure.
