Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to provide additional time to respond to requests for public records from nonresidents and to allow a different fee schedule to fulfill nonresident requests.

The purpose of this legislation is to allow state and local governments additional time to respond to requests for public records from nonresidents, and to allow a different fee schedule to fulfill nonresident fee requests. Nonresident public records requests would need to be fulfilled within 30 days, subject to extension for unusual or exigent circumstances. The fee schedule for nonresident record requests would be allowed to be commensurate with actual costs of the agency from start to finish of request fulfillment.
