Prohibits certain agencies from charging for the process of a FOIL request made by state and local agencies or the state legislature
This bill prevents state government agencies and large cities from charging fees to other state and local agencies or the state legislature when they request public records under the Freedom of Information Law. The law allows these government entities to continue any existing fee structures that were in place before the bill took effect but stops them from creating new charges for processing these specific requests. By removing the ability to bill for record requests between government bodies, the legislation aims to streamline information sharing among public officials without altering the overall cost of the program.
