Current through May 31, 2024
(a) Except as otherwise provided by this
				chapter, a request to a public agency for a public record must be in writing.
				Request forms may be provided by a public agency, but a request may not be
				denied solely because it is not on that form. If a request includes a stamped,

				date of receipt of the request.
(b)
				An oral request for records is considered a valid request under this chapter.
				Upon receipt of an oral request, a public agency shall inform the requester of
				the provisions of this section. If the request involves a variety of records, a
				public agency may require that the request be submitted in writing.
(c) An oral request is deemed denied if not
				granted within five working days after the office of the public agency
				responsible for maintaining the requested records receives the request,
				excluding the request day and including the following five working days. The
				decision to grant or deny an oral request is within the sole discretion of the
				public agency. A requester's only remedy if the oral request is denied is to
				make a written request in accordance with (a) of this section.
(d) If a requester making an oral request for
				public records is unable to write a request due to a physical or mental
				disability, the public agency shall either assist the requester in preparing a
				written request or treat the oral request as a written request.

Current through May 31, 2024
(a) A requester
				must describe the public records sought in sufficient detail to enable the
				public agency to which the request is made to locate the records. The public
				agency shall make reasonable efforts to assist in the identification and
				description of records sought, and to assist the requester in formulating the
				request. If the records are described in general terms, the agency shall
				attempt to communicate with the requester in order to identify the public
				records requested, speed the response, and lessen the administrative burden of
				processing an overly broad request. These attempts may not be used as a means
				to discourage requests.
(b) If a
				public agency determines that the description of the records sought by the
				request is not sufficient to allow the public agency to identify the requested
				records, that agency shall, no later than 10 working days after receipt of the
				request, notify the requester that the request cannot be processed until
				additional information is furnished. Time limits set out in this chapter do not
				begin to run until a sufficient description of the records is received in the
