This bill creates an exception from the provisions of the Freedom of Access Act that govern the fees that an agency may charge to a person requesting public records and allows the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to charge a separate fee of $5 per record for copies of applications, licenses, registrations, permits and recreational vehicle crash reports and 3 cents per name or per record, with a minimum charge of $10, for spreadsheets and lists of records related to applications, licenses, registrations, permits and recreational vehicle crash reports. These fees are subject to sales tax. The bill modifies the provisions of tax law defining "retail sale" and "sales price" to facilitate applying a sales tax to these fees. The bill also makes other changes to the laws governing the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to clarify and reorganize provisions related to public records maintained by the department.
